Live Webinar: Better Choices, Bigger Changes: Solutions-Focused Treatment for Substance Abuse
Saturday October 5th, 2024 from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM
3 Addictions Counseling Specific CEs
(3 Hours of NBCC Continuing Education Credit)
This presentation will equip mental health professionals with an overview of SFT, including the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively implement Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) within the context of substance use disorder (SUD). SFT is a brief, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes strengths and future-focused solutions, rather than dwelling on past problems or pathologies. Participants will learn practical techniques to facilitate change, enhance motivation, and promote recovery in individuals struggling with SUD.
Objectives include:
1. Identify no less than three SFT principles and techniques.
2. Construct practices to move clients toward a more brief and practical sequence.
3. Apply these principles into substance use disorder treatment.
