A 5-hour training with Carolyn Lemsky, PhD. C.Psych. ABPP-CN

March 24, 2022

8:30am-3pm

PRESENTATION:  This 5 hour workshop will build on previous workshops related to substance use, brain injury and cognitive impairment.  This workshop will provide a very brief introduction to neurocognitive/neurobehavioural impairment.  The main focus of the content will be assessing the nature of neurocognitive impairment and providing accommodation in a clinical setting.  Learners will practice practical strategies for adapting their presentation of psychoeducational materials, supporting self-assessment and promoting follow-through between sessions.  Specific adaptations for CBT and MI will be presented.  This workshop will also introduce the ACE Program which is a cognitive compensation program for addiction studies. Upon completion of this workshop participants will be able to:

•  Describe the nature of neurocognitive impairment;
• List accommodations that can be provided in a clinical setting for individuals with neurocognitive impairment; and
•  Explain practical strategies for adapting their presentation of psychoeducational materials, supporting self-assessment and promoting follow-through between sessions.
