Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT)
July 13th and 14th from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Cost: $225

Join us for this 2-day online workshop focused on Community Reinforcement and Family Training. This is the only evidence-based program to assist families that are challenged by addiction. It uses an overall positive approach and steers clear of any confrontation. CRAFT is a culturally sensitive program that works with families to positively influence the behavior of a person with an active addiction. The program emphasizes learning new skills to cope with old problems. Some of the components include how to stay safe, understand the function of the addiction, and teach caregivers how to use positive reinforcers (rewards) and how to let the person affected face the natural consequences of their substance use behavior. CRAFT research has shown that almost 7 out of 10 people who use the program get their loved ones to attend treatment and has been shown to be equally effective with Hispanic and Anglo families. The cost of this training is $225 and provides a total of 12 CEUs. Register for CRAFT training here.

Motivational Interviewing Level 1 -2 Day Training
July 24th and 25th from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM ( One hour lunch break at noon)
Cost: Free SOR Training Series

This 2-day online workshop introduces the MI Spirit and foundational strategies of Motivational Interviewing (MI.) MI is one of the most heavily researched interventions in the fields of addiction, behavioral health, and medicine. Many studies have reliably demonstrated that implementing this practice with proficiency and consistency will improve client outcomes. MI attempts to move an individual away from a state of indecision or uncertainty toward finding the motivation to make positive decisions and accomplish established goals. MI is a directional, client-centered style of interacting with the goal of eliciting change by helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence. Rather than acting in an antagonistic or combative way, the helper engages with the client to explore feelings, including ambivalence about changing, and helps clients find their own motivations. This training provides a total of 12 CEUs. Register for all of our SOR trainings here.
