Serving Survivors with Substance Use
We believe that the advocate’s role is to provide trauma-informed and survivor-centered services. Survivors have complex lives and often use, rely on, and abuse substances as a way of coping with trauma. This training will examine how to advocate for and work with survivors engaged in substance reliance; including harm reduction and survivor choice while still creating and maintaining safe spaces in a communal living environment. This training will be delivered with adult learning styles in mind, including small group activities.
This training will be held at the Sheraton Detroit Novi Hotel – 21111 Haggerty Road, Novi, MI 48375. Parking is free for hotel guests. Participants will be responsible for their own breakfast and lunch. Training will begin promptly at 9am (registration begins at 8:30 am) There will be a 75 minute lunch break and there are a number of restaurants nearby.
