'From Disruption to Dialogue: Strengthening Relationships After Adverse Events'
In this workshop, Dr. Carissa Muth will present an overview of the neuropsychological factors involved in both trauma and addiction and highlight the numerous contributing components involved in the development and treatment of substance use. This will include the impact of stressors, such as the impact of adverse environmental events, on risk for substance use and overall wellbeing. Grounded in the science of addictions, this workshop will then provide a framework for treating both individuals struggling with substance use as well as their support systems.
