SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS

400 An Overview of Screening and Assessment Skills for Positive

Treatment Outcomes: Substance use, including alcohol, was on the upswing prior to COVID-19. The numbers are increasing as the pandemic lingers. Some are using illicit drugs as a means of coping. The detrimental effects are not limited to the client; family systems are adversely affected as well: separation, divorce, loss of income, and health decline are but a few potential outcomes. Effective client-centered, culturally sensitive screening and assessment are critical for positive treatment outcomes.

Last year, there were more opiate overdose deaths than deaths from AIDS at the height of the HIV epidemic in the 80s and 90s. Substance abuse is a complex social problem that has profound implications for today’s social workers. The purpose of this course is to increase participants’ understanding of the biology and psychology of opiate addiction, the effects of addiction on the health of individuals with opiate use disorder (OUD), how OUD affects children and families, and how to address the stigma around substance use and its treatment.

ETHICS

✺500 More Than Three Hours in Two Years: The Supervisor’s Role in Bringing Ethical Behavior to the Forefront of Daily Practice: The supervisor’s role is to create structures and supports that serve both role models and enforce ethical behavior among staff. This workshop will engage participants to reflect on what they are doing to infuse their workers’

practice both in field and in office settings. Concrete tools will be reviewed to enhance ethical perspectives in decision-making in supervision. Friday, February 19, 2021; 9:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.; Live Interactive Webinar; $65; CEs: 3; Instructor: Frances Crawford-Williams, LCSW-C

✺501 Ethics and Teamwork: Working with others is something social workers do every day and is core to achieving positive outcomes for their clients. Unfortunately, working with others can lead to conflict. When teams or systems fall apart due to unmanaged conflict, clients are the ones to suffer. Part of the ethical responsibility each social worker has is to manage conflict respectfully as everyone is working towards positive outcomes for the clients. Different approaches to conflict and means to utilize everyone’s input in moving forward will be reviewed.
