| Description |
Substance misuse and abuse can present multiple problems for any family but is especially stressful for young parents of newborns or toddlers. Substance abuse touches more than the one affected directly by the issue, but has a powerful impact on each member of a household and often leads to a host of related problems such as domestic violence, financial instability, even child neglect or abuse. This training will examine definitions and indicators of substance problems, as well as strategies for intervening or conveying helpful information in a non-judgmental fashion to those families we work with. The training will focus on how to deal with Substance Abuse issues in the home setting, and will include time given to discuss specific cases and scenarios from real life examples.
