Identifying Substance Use Early Saves Lives! - SBIRT with Motivational Interviewing Training - 1-day Sessions Offered on Dec 8, Feb 2, Mar 2, Apr 6
Maine continues to see deaths from opiate use increase. Rates of
opiate use are highest in the 18-25 year old group and data from those
entering treatment suggest that the majority begin using before the age
of 17. Maine AAP is committed to helping practitioners identify youth on
this path earlier and intervening earlier! Screening, Brief Intervention,
Referral to Treatment is one evidence based approach to doing this. Maine AAP will be offering several trainings throughout the
state over the next 6 months. Please consider joining us to enhance your
skills in identifying and offering brief interventions in the primary
care settings for youth on the path to substance use disorders.
The Maine AAP will be offering one day Saturday
sessions in several regions of Maine, providing training and coaching to
Pediatricians and Pediatric Specialists in SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention
and Referral to Treatment) and effective conversational skills in Motivational
Interviewing.
