A 5 hour training event with Jim Wuelfing
8:30am – 3:00pm on May 10, 2019
PRESENTATION: This workshop will examine the continuum of care (prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery) focusing on prevention and recovery. After coming to an understanding of these two disciplines, participants will explore where there is commonality in populations, focus, outcomes and goals. The possibility of collaboration will be explored to potentially lay the groundwork of supporting both healthy individuals and healthy communities. As a result of attending this training, participants will be able to:
- Identify the intersections between prevention and recovery approaches
- Define common terms used in prevention and recovery
- Describe a more holistic approach to the continuum of care
- Describe specific ways in which prevention and recovery practitioners can better support one another
