Course Description

Substance abuse and mental illness (co-occurring disorders) are extremely common and influence the effectiveness of overall crisis intervention. ​In addition to learning commonly used screening tools and how they apply to ASAM levels and the stages of change, learners will engage in practice unconditional hope and care coordination. Learners are required to apply their learning through interactive games, case scenarios, and quizzes to develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities as it relates to Substance Use.
