Description: When clients suffer from cognitive disabilities, treatment methods should be adapted to account for such issues. Problems with memory, thinking, reading, understanding, reasoning and both verbal and written communication may be compromised, and so strategies for accommodating these disabilities are critical to the outcome of substance use disorder treatment.

This webinar will help participants understand the wide range of cognitive disabilities with which clients may present, as well as increase their capability to screen for these disabilities, initiate treatment planning and deliver appropriate services.

 About the training: 
The Great Lakes ATTC, National Hispanic & Latino ATTC,  and  Pilsen Wellness Center bring to you a two-day workshop for counselors working with Hispanic and Latino adolescents. The purpose of this training is to introduce counselors to basic systemic thinking about substance use and the family context of substance use. Where applicable, we present unique aspects of Hispanic families. In this training we also seek to articulate major strengths of family models, the importance of cultural competence in working with Hispanics, and unique aspects of working with adolescents. 
 
This training helps to teach family treatment concepts, techniques and strategies in a manner that practitioners find useful for their work with Hispanic families with substance using adolescents.
