We are pleased to share archives of the first five trainings from the What Clinicians Need to Know series. This series is supported through a Westchester County Opioid Settlement Treatment Grant awarded to Westchester Jewish Community Services. The content is intended to support all clinicians, including therapists and psychiatric providers, in treating substance use and co-occurring disorders by providing an overview of substances of misuse, their intoxication and withdrawal symptoms, their interactions with other mental health diagnoses, and their treatment.

Each archived training offers 1.5 hours of CASAC, LMHC, Psychology, and Social Work continuing education.
