Trauma, PTSD and Substance Use

This note crossed our transom:

Grantees:
On behalf of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network I would like to pass along to all of you a new training opportunity. Please see the announcement below.

I would like to announce a new addition to the Adolescence and Substance Abuse section of the NCTSN website. A presentation by Dr. Robert Pynoos has been added titled, “Youth with Trauma Histories, PTSD, and Co-Occurring Substance Abuse”. The presentation explores the relationship between youth with trauma histories and co-occurring substance abuse disorders as well as assessment and treatment strategies. I hope everyone will enjoy this new resource.

The site listed above contains a ton of information for MH and SA providers, as well as families and youth, not just the particular presentation referenced.
