Learn
about current drug trends and the signs and symptoms of substance
abuse. The SBIRT tool helps school counselors, health and school
personnel and mental health professionals learn how to ask the right
questions to engage youth in an open conversation about drug and alcohol
use and abuse.
Motivational
interviewing techniques, active listening and non-confrontational
questions will be learned through experiential role-play scenarios.
This brief questioning tool
provides a way not only to screen for problem alcohol/drug use, but also
to learn how to initiate a brief intervention and possible referral
when indicated.
