Supporting Your Clients in 12-Step Recovery

Have you ever worked with a client in AA, NA, or another 12-step program and felt out of your depth? You may have felt like you didn't know how to best support them, or even referred them out to someone with an addictions specialty. In this 2-hour course, you'll gain the tools you need to support your clients through their 12-step recovery with confidence.

 

Course Objectives: 

Upon completion, participants will be able to: 


  1. Identify the 12-steps and how they are utilized for recovery from substance abuse.
  2. Discuss the ways that 12-step culture impacts clients including the steps, traditions, slogans, anonymity and sponsorship. 
  3. Recognize mental health issues that often come up during 12 step work and how therapists can support clients.
  4. Apply interventions and modalities to facilitate symptom reduction, support recovery and reduce relapse risk in conjunction with client’s stepwork.

1.5 CE Credits 


 Continuing Education is provided by Strongblossom, Inc. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive 1.5 CEs.  

Recognizing and Preventing Stress, Chronic Stress, and Burnout in Clinical Supervision

 Stress, chronic stress and burnout can have severe consequences on clinical practice and ethical decision making, which puts clients, clinicians and supervisors at risk. We will identify the impact of current global and personal stressors on the mental health system, providers and supervisees. We will discuss the stress, chronic stress, and burnout progression and utilize screening tools, resilience factors, and coping skills to support supervises and ensure effective treatment.


3 Supervision Credits

Participants will learn how to recognize these obstacles, understand the underlying issues, and apply effective strategies to overcome them, including exploring blocking beliefs, secondary gains, and stages of change. This course is ideal for therapists looking to improve client outcomes by effectively managing the real barriers that arise in therapy.
