Can't Touch This: Positive Approaches to Reduce Substance Use

Rather than scare or punish kids who may be experimenting with substances, we need to use positive approaches that focus on Youth Development and Empowerment. This will focus on an empowerment model to assist youth and their families to prevent substance use initiation or reduce the harm caused by experimentation. Recommendations for communities, school systems and families will be presented.Presenter(s): Brian Serna, LCMHC, LADACTrack: Innovative Practices

PAR for the Course: Prevention and Recovery Working Together
Description: Prevention and Recovery services are vital services to help create healthier and safer communities. Often times they work separately from one another, when in reality, they fall under the realm of behavioral health. Both types of services share a similar goal, to build individual and community resilience. It is important that prevention and recovery work together in a coordinator manner to maximize impact. The first step in achieving this is to recalibrate ourselves in how we view our work, while thinking of the people we serve. A panel of individuals who often work simultaneously in both spaces will demonstrate how one can start thinking of how to better work collectively in order to create a more cohesive system.
