Presentation: In this program individuals will be able to learn more about why the individuals we work with self-medicate. The presentation will provide the definition of self-medicating but also encourage the group to share ideas and things they have seen within their own consumers and how they chose to address it within their particular professional setting. It will teach individuals about change talk, how to use change talk with difficult consumers, and allow for the opportunity to practice change talk with others around them. This presentation aims to help individuals working in any field to identify how to help resistant consumers move in the direction of positive change.
