Opioids: The Making of a Crisis

Julie Stevens, MPS, ACPS, ICPS

The opioid epidemic has caught the country off guard, draining resources which were designed to address the problem. Alarmed federal and state agencies are scrambling to address the problem. But it is the communities that have borne the brunt of the opioid crisis. Communities blame the pharmaceutical companies that have, since the 1980s, promoted opioids as a panacea for relieving pain.

This workshop informs participants about the various forms of narcotics and opioids, their prevalence, effects on the physical and psychological well-being of users. This workshop examines the events that contributed to the crisis, and failed attempts to deal with it. 2 CEs (2 ATOD Specific)

Conflict is everywhere and knowing how to respectfully engage in it makes all the difference. While we cannot protect ourselves from conflict, we can learn to manage it. Resolving conflicts in a healthy way, increases our understanding of others, builds trust, and strengthens our relationships.

In this workshop, you will learn what your conflict style is and how to use it to successfully navigate difficult conversations. Join me to discover constructive ways to manage conflicts at work, at home and at school. 2 CEs
