Description

This workshop will provide a guide to treating Adolescent Substance Use through Family Systems Therapy. Participants will learn to view their “client” as the entire family system. They will learn how to engage and collaborate with multiple levels of this family system simultaneously. A role play will be utilized to demonstrate the application of this approach. Case discussions will be woven throughout the presentation.

Our goal is for participants to walk away with the understanding that treatment of adolescent substance use is not individually based. Parents want to be involved and will engage in treatment if they are asked. Working with them and other members of the system as partners and not only “patients” is foundational to Family Systems Therapy.

This workshop will be relevant for Clinical Social Workers, Professional Counselors, Marital and Family Therapists, Addictions Counselors, and School Social Workers and Nurses. Graduate students interested in the treatment of Adolescent Substance Use will benefit from being exposed to this integrative model.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Create a systemic case conceptualization for clients with substance use disorder
  2. Explain one family intervention with working with substance use disorder
