Trauma and Substance Abuse Integrated Treatment Workshop
 
8:30 AM to 4:30 PM November 12, 2009

At Celebration Church, 2701 Transcontinental Drive, Metairie, LA
 


We are pleased to announce our fourth clinical training workshop. Twice a year we host a full day clinical training for practicing professionals and graduate students through our Integrated Treatment Training and Education Program. 
 
This fall we are excited to host

Lisa Najavits, PhD 
Professor of Psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine
Lecturer, Harvard Medical School
Clinical Psychologist, McLean Hospital
Author of Seeking Safety: A Treatment Manual for PTSD and Substance Abuse
In the workshop, Dr. Najavits will provide participants with clinical tools for utilizing the ^Seeking Safety^ approach.  Seeking Safety is a present-focused therapy to help people attain safety from trauma and substance abuse.  The treatment, an evidence-based practice, was designed for flexible use and can be successfully implemented in a variety of clinical settings.  
 
The connection between trauma related disorders and substance abuse is an important topic to our community, where rates of PTSD are well above the national average.  We urge all clinical professionals and graduate students to attend and learn about this effective approach.  We will also provide 6 hours of Continuing Education Units through the Louisiana Counseling Association (for Counselors), National Association of Social Workers - Louisiana (for Social Workers), and the Louisiana Addictive Disorders Regulatory Authority (for Addiction Counselors).
 
Please mark your calendars and contact our workshop planner, Leandra Cate, for more information on registration.  Email: lcate@rhousela.org    Phone: (504)366-6217
