DBH Training Institute

Description:

*Registration for this training will close on Monday, May 22, 2023 at 9:00am*


Medical and behavioral health professionals who work with HIV+ patients are in a unique position to help these patients reduce harm from substance use, but often feel at a loss how to do so effectively, in a limited amount of time, and without conveying judgement. HIV+ patients, meanwhile, may face stigma from health professionals, and may not relate to a singular focus on treatment programs. This presentation will improve the ability of primary care and specialty health professionals to screen for substance use disorders (SUDs) and perform a four-step brief intervention model that enhances the motivation of patients to reduce their risk of harm. As a result, clinicians will be better able to help these patients forge their own pathway to recovery.
Objective:

At the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe how substance use disorders (SUDs) impact HIV+ patients 
  2. Demonstrate how to use a brief screening tool that identifies possible substance use disorders
  3. Demonstrate how to perform a four-step brief intervention that enhances the motivation of HIV+ patients to reduce harm from substance use
  4. Explain how principles of harm reduction can help mitigate provider stigma
Intended Audience:
Medical and behavioral health professionals who work with HIV+ patients in primary or specialty health care settings
