Research in the field of substance abuse has consistently demonstrated the high correlation between drug and alcohol abuse with a history of family violence. Recently it has been revealed that up to 90% of women addicts have been sexually abused as children. Despite the clear link between trauma and addiction, little attention was given to understanding and responding to this phenomena by the treatment community. This workshop serves as an introduction to the long-term consequences of trauma upon individuals, including the development of addictions, and the ways in which the treatment environment needs to become trauma sensitive in order to provide optimal outcomes.
The Continuing Education Program of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is pleased to bring you 33 workshops for the Fall 2007 Series. We believe these workshops that have been planned will prepare you for meeting the multiple needs of the individual, organizational and community clients that you are serving. We welcome your suggestions for future workshop topics or presenters that you would like to see us feature in future continuing education workshops, and thank you for your continued support of the program.
