Mental health professionals are invited to attend a free CPD webinar produced by the Mental Health Professionals’ Network.
Attendees will learn about harm reduction, abstinence, stigma, and mental health challenges that people may face due to their current or past use of alcohol and other drugs.
An interdisciplinary panel of experts will discuss the difference between harm reduction and abstinence and how these approaches relate to the mental health of people currently using, or who have used, alcohol and other drugs in the past.
Areas of discussion include associated stigma and the importance of language and communication when providing care to people seeking assistance for alcohol and other drug use.
Panellists will also present strategies to engage specialist services when supporting people who are experiencing mental health challenges due to use of alcohol and other drugs.
Register now for this webinar, to be held on Tuesday, 4 October 2022 from 7:15pm – 8:30pm AEDT.
