Concurrent Disorders
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the lives of all people living in Canada. The ongoing economic hardships, disruptions to daily routines, feelings of loneliness and disconnection have all contributed to the increased levels of stress, anxiety and uncertainty. The factors have been closely association with the decline in mental health and a rise in substance use among many individuals.
Co-occurring substance use and mental health problems present a challenge for people in accessing comprehensive support and services. Historically, treatment options have been largely compartmentalized – where people go one place for addiction treatment and then must go somewhere else to address their mental health concerns. This was further exacerbated by the limited access to services and support during the pandemic. To address this, this workshop is designed to increase the number of professionals who are CD informed across diverse fields of practice. Students will gain the fundamental skills and knowledge to provide an integrated treatment approach, ensuring a more positive and effective experience for clients.
