Description:
Outreach efforts, accessing care, participation
in treatment planning and care can all be negatively affected by a client’s
adverse childhood experiences. In the quest for resilience, many people develop
Survival Behavior, a series of responses that helped them during the most
dangerous moments of their lives. These behaviors also hamper effective
engagement with behavioral health services and substance use care. A provider
who understands how Survival behavior affects behavior, interrupts cognitive
processes, and interferes with engagement in care can better serve affected
clients. This event givers providers insights into how their work is affected
by a client’s survival behaviors and what strategies can improve access and
utilization of care.
