National and Idaho data indicate that a growing number of students are using substances including alcohol, e-cigarettes, marijuana, and stimulants. Administrators, teachers, counselors, social workers, and nurses working in the K-12 school setting can play a critical role in the prevention and treatment of substance use among students.
ECHO Idaho’s K12 Substance Use Prevention and Treatment series provides training opportunities for school personnel, school administrators, and clinicians working with school-aged children to gain skills and knowledge to integrate best practice in substance use prevention and treatment.
Led by an interdisciplinary panel comprised of a family medicine and addiction specialist, school resource officer, alcohol/drug social worker, school counselor, and Idaho Office of Drug Policy director, this series will help enhance your competencies and provide the opportunity to learn best practices in meeting the substance use prevention and treatment needs of school-aged patients in a school-based setting.
Target Audience
The target audience is classroom educators and school pupil personnel, which includes school counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, and administrators. However, all clinicians and behavioral health specialists not working in schools are also welcome.
