Jan 12 Free SBIRT Webinar: Family Impact of Alcohol and Substance Use

NYAPRS Note: The following comes to us courtesy of ACMHA’s Eric Gopelrud who writes that “Below is an invitation to participate in a free webinar that is part of a monthly webinar series provided by the EAP BIG (Brief Intervention Group) Initiative.  The webinar is provided free by the BIG 6 associations, EAPA, NAADAC, the Center for Clinical Social Work, EASNA, AAAP and ASAM.    This work has been underwritten by generous support from CSAT, SAMHSA, NHTSA, and more than 20 corporate partners who support the mission of the BIG Initiative. The BIG Initiative is a campaign that engages many of the leading EAP vendors, businesses, EAP professionals, and benefits consultants who are working together to advance the use of SBIRT across the EAP industry. The intent is to make alcohol screening and brief intervention the universal, routine practice of the employee assistance industry in the US and Canada.

Free SBIRT Webinar – Earn 1 CE       Thursday, 12 January 2012   3pm – 4pm EST 12pm – 1pm PST   Employees and Their Family Members   An employee assistance professional’s client is often thought of as the individual employee.  However, the vast majority of employee assistance programs (EAPs) provide direct services to the employee’s spouses, partner and/or children. Emotional health is equally as important as physical health for a productive workforce and healthy business.  The emotional health of the employee’s family members impacts the employee’s workplace productivity and the employer’s bottom line, as well.  This webinar helps the participant better understand the dynamics of the alcoholic family in order to support both the EAP client and the affected family members.      More information and to register: http://bigsbirteducation.webs.com/familymembers.htm   Full listing of SBIRT continuing education opportunities: http://bigsbirteducation.webs.com/sbirttraining.htm
