Inevitably, addiction professionals will treat clients who are in such programs and ideally, they should be able to include the 12-Step model in client care. Connecting with individual narratives has been an important part of the history of these programs and it is crucial to explore the benefits of this treatment modality. Additionally, these programs possess a unique culture, language and lifestyle\u2014and many common misconceptions surround them. Therefore, health care professionals will gain a deeper understanding than what they may have learned from academia about these unique programs in order to effectively integrate the 12-Step and clinical models and to build ongoing rapport with such clients. During this 3-part workshop both challenges and treatment strategies will be discussed with case examples and video segments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics in the &#8220;B: The 12-Step Process&#8221; webinar:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 12-Step Member Roles<br \/>\n\u2022 Defining and Examining the 12 Steps<br \/>\n\u2022 Benefits and Challenges of Each \u201cStep\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Associated Mood Symptoms with 12 Steps<\/p>\n<p><b>Who Should Attend?:<\/b><br \/>\n\u2022 Physicians, Psychologists, Mental Health Nurses,Therapists<br \/>\n\u2022 All Staff in Addictions Settings<br \/>\n\u2022 Social Workers &amp; Allied Professional Staff in Psychiatric settings<br \/>\n\u2022 Primary Care Physicians &amp; Nurses; MH Staff in Community Settings<br \/>\n\u2022 Intake &amp; Frontline Staff; Mental Health Managers and Educators<br \/>\n\u2022 Mental Health Nurses and Staff in Correctional &amp; Forensic Settings<br \/>\n\u2022 Mental Health Staff in Adolescent Settings<br \/>\n\u2022 Selected Staff in Harm Reduction, Group Homes and Family Violence Programs.<br \/>\n<strong>** This is not a &#8216;self help&#8217; course or a course for family members.
