Looking beyond the statistics of substance use, we will examine what are the driving forces behind the behavior of various populations and the choices they make concerning substance use. We will also seek to discover how to respond to behaviors that are detrimental to different populations.
The objective "Participants will explore ways to manage challenging behaviors and conflict in special populations" is the heart of the presentation: addressing challenging behaviors in various populations.
Objectives:
Participants will be able to identify population groups and how each group differs from the others in regard to the life choices they make.
Participants will be able to assess their ability to interact with and assist the various population groups.
Participants will learn appropriate responses to individuals with substance use dependency.
