We are looking at SF being used with people that  experience substance related issues . We will be aligning SF with the cycle of change and hopefully simplifying responses that are often over complicated by the insistence of use of the DSM in addiction services. There will be a few slides and then scenarios that will be worked on by the group.

Participants can expect to hear how to work in a direct and simple way with people that  experience substance related issues , matching SF responses to where they might be in their journey.
