Contact – Addiction ‘Intervention’ Skills During COVID-19 Webinar

The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed a number of unique challenges for professional counselors and church communities. Social isolation, loneliness, concerns about health, family, finances and employment have created extraordinary stress. Those stressors can exacerbate mental health concerns and lead to abuse of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol sales in the month of March alone jumped 55%. Millions of Americans are currently isolated, struggling with substance abuse, and they need help.

Professional counselors, Religious leaders or concerned family members can play a central role in helping those struggling with substance abuse seek help. However, effective interventions require particular knowledge and skills. This webinar will provide you with an understanding of the principles of “intervention”. It will allow you to feel more confident in developing and implementing a plan to help the struggling addict get the assistance they need.
