MSW 634 - Substance Use and Behavioral Health Care II

Social Workers engage in ethical practice with populations in need of engagement, assessment, and treatment for SUD and related behavioral health conditions. Practice settings require ethical standards of practice and a critical perspective to frame individual/family/community risk and resilience factors. This course is the second of a two-part series where students learn skills associated with SBIRT, trans-theoretical model of change, as well as the role of social workers on multidisciplinary teams that provide levels of care and continuity of care. Students will learn and apply skills that focus on the use of formal/informal sources of support throughout treatment and recovery. (Offered spring)
