Let’s imagine that the problems you carry – in your relationships, your career or business, your health and in your recurring thoughts – didn’t start with you. Let’s consider that you are carrying the echo of struggles from past generations – even from people who may have never known. Every day we are learning that (more…) PA Certification Board’s addiction treatment conference. Keynote Speaker: Sam Quinones- a Los Angeles-based freelance journalist and author of three books of narrative nonfiction. His latest book is Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic, for which he traveled across the United States. This training will increase attendees’ understanding of the characteristics of women seeking help with substance use issues. Learners will: Understand the unique needs and barriers facing women recovering from addiction; Gain knowledge of the effects of trauma on relationship patterns and substance abuse; Come away with practical techniques to use in treatment with female clients.
