Date: 2021-12-09

December 7, 2021: Join an overview of the epidemiology of substance use by youth, with a specific focus on opioids and stimulants. Learn about strategies for engaging and retaining youth in treatment and hear brief overviews of the medications that are used to treat opioid use disorders (MOUD) and the behavioral interventions Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, as there are no FDA-approved medications for stimulant use disorders. Get information about the importance of connecting school-based interventions and treatment services to non-punitive discipline approaches to student substance use at schools. This is the first webinar in a five-part series on youth and substance use prevention.
