The Influence of Trauma on Substance Use

Green Clock Hours: 1.50

A traumatic experience can be a single event or a collection of events in which a person is harmed or feels threatened. Trauma affects an individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being and is a risk factor prevalent in nearly all people with behavioral health and substance use disorders. Given the high correlation between trauma and substance use, providers need training on trauma-informed care and evidence-informed treatment modalities that address trauma and substance use.  

The goal of this course is to provide addiction, behavioral health counseling, case management/care management, marriage and family therapy, nursing, psychology, and social work professionals in health and human services settings with information on trauma, the relationship between trauma and substance use, and recommended treatment modalities to address both trauma and substance use.
