CE Workshop with Michael Giordano, LICSW
Online via Zoom Video

Clinical social workers are trained to view drug use through the lens of addiction and often raise red flags when hearing about client experiences with drugs, especially illegal substances. When this happens, we risk damaging the therapeutic relationship and missing important aspects of their lives, stories and usage. This course will help attendees explore hidden or not so hidden beliefs about drug use and “drug culture,” through the lens of our Code of Ethics. Participants will learn reasons beyond addiction that clients might use substances. As a result, attendees will be better equipped to stay attuned with their clients and serve them more effectively. Due to the interactive nature, we request that cameras are on for this course.
