A Virtual Workshop
Trainer: Cindy Rollo, MSW, LCSW-C
July 24, 2024
9:00 am - 12:00 pm (PDT)
Trauma can change the way you think about yourself, the world, and your relationship with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is easily accessible, time-limited, and has proven effectiveness for a wide range of common presenting issues. Yet, many clinicians are unsure how to best apply CBT techniques with those that have experienced trauma. With growing awareness of the prevalence and impact of trauma across populations, the need for trauma-informed CBT approaches is clear.

Navigating Co-Occurring Disorders: A Tribute to Mental Health Awareness Month, May 2024 | |
|
As we approach Mental Health Awareness Month, it's essential to reflect on the interconnectedness of substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health conditions. For many individuals battling addiction, there exists a complex web of co-occurring disorders that necessitate a comprehensive and holistic approach to treatment.
Co-occurring disorders, commonly referred to as dual diagnosis or comorbidity, occur when an individual experiences both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder simultaneously. This intersectionality can exacerbate symptoms, complicate treatment, and pose unique challenges for recovery. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), approximately 7.9 million adults in the United States grapple with co-occurring disorders each year, highlighting the critical need for integrated care and support systems.
