SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT AND RECOVERY AND IMPACTS ON FAMILY DYNAMICS
Despite high rates of substance use among youth in the juvenile justice and child welfare systems, assessing needed evidence-based care can be difficult. This session will cover key principles for identifying and addressing substance use and co-occurring mental health needs with dually involved youth. Participants will hear from University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) researchers highlighting telehealth interventions and a discussion about research-informed ways to improve identification of substance use and co-occurring mental health needs and provide tools to aid in linkage to treatment. Additionally, participants will hear directly from a Parent Partner with lived experience about how best to support youth and families with substance use and co-occurring mental health needs either in treatment or exiting an STRTP. Lived experience provides keys to success: Support, Educate and Acceptance that there is not an easy solution. Together, we will make a difference.
