After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Identify risky substance use patterns.
  2. Discuss ways to become more comfortable in having discussions with a student about this domain of behaviors.
  3. Describe how to support your assessment and prioritize treatment goals using data your counseling and psychiatric services clinic already collects about students’ alcohol and other drugs patterns and their psychiatric symptomatology.

Program Abstract:
This workshop will show how one high-volume, high-acuity Counseling and Psychiatric Services Clinic is responding to clinic-based indicators reflecting significant under-diagnosing of students with co-occurring disorders. This multi-dimensional approach focuses on staff education, training, and the development of a risk/resilience rating scale to help clinicians more readily identify and treat students with co-occurring disorders.
