This training introduces participants with the knowledge and tools to better support adolescents through the SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) framework. This evidence-based approach explores the importance of early detection and intervention in adolescent substance use.
Participants will learn how to use validated screening tools designed for youth, practice trauma-informed strategies for building trust and reducing stigma, gain confidence in navigating sensitive conversations with adolescents, and understand how and when to make effective referrals for treatment or additional support.
