Arizona State University’s Center for Applied Behavioral Health Policy (CABHP) and the Pacific Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center (PSATTC) are pleased to announce Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) Friday, April 24, 2009 from 8AM to 4PM.
For decades, attention has focused on the user of substances, with little concentration given to those who surround the loved one’s using behavior. Traditional approaches often promote confrontation, or portray the need for the client to "hit bottom." CRAFT is an effective approach that can benefit Concerned Significant Other (CSOs) of those affected by addiction. Without confrontation, CRAFT has been used in community treatment settings to get loved ones of those with substance use disorders to engage in treatment (generally 6 out of 10). CRAFT can improve the quality of life for CSOs, and reduce substance use, even for those who do not engage in treatment.
This introductory CRAFT training is led by CABHP’s Dr. Raymond "Ande" Anderson who has been researching and practicing the CRAFT model since 2000. Learn more about how the CRAFT model, when used in therapeutic settings, has proven positive outcomes for the Concerned Significant Other (CSO) as well as the person with substance use disorder, benefiting the whole family.
The CRAFT Model is highlighted in the nationally acclaimed HBO series "Addiction." Click here for more information.
Who Should Attend: Criminal justice professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, peer support specialists, addiction and mental health counselors, marriage & family therapists, case managers, and nurses.
Cost: Only $79, includes certificate and 7 hours of CEH/CEU’s (given at the conclusion of training) plus attendees have the opportunity to receive additional mentoring from Dr. Anderson through a web-based coaching session following the training. This allows attendees to practice using their new skills first, then provides them an opportunity to obtain additional mentoring, ask questions and receive feedback on real-life situations that they have encountered - without having to travel to an additional training or leaving their office.
