Workshop A "Recovery Management: A Paradigm Shift in Working with Adolescents with Substance Use Disorders" - Mark Sanders, LCSW, CADC and Seth Eisenberg, MD
This workshop introduces participants to recovery management, an approach geared toward helping adolescents sustain recovery long-term. The workshop will focus on shifting from an acute-care to a recovery management model. By the end of the workshop participants will have a working definition of recovery management, be aware of the three continuums of recovery management and their efficacy with adolescents and be aware of the unique role of the recovery coach in helping adolescents recover.

Workshop B "The New Generation of Adult Children of Alcoholics" – Stella M. Nicholson, MA, LCPC, CMADC, MAC
This workshop will focus on current research findings regarding the development of the Adult Child. The late 70's and 80's was an era when the field was buzzing with workshops, conference, self-help groups and a variety of books concerning this population. Where is this group now? Have they disappeared or are they armed with so much information that they no longer feel that they need professional assistance to recover from their childhood traumas? This workshop will identify developmental maladies seen in this population and examine current treatment modalities and their effectiveness.

Workshop C "Engaging with MISA Clients – Using the Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)" – Frank Morales, M.S. Ed., CRADC, MISA II
During this workshop the participants will explore the nine stages of engaging with MISA clients using an acceptance commitment (ACT) focused approach. Outcome results of research that has been done on reducing relapse triggers for anxiety and depression using ACT will be reviewed. Participants will examine the beliefs and reactions about the counseling situation that are barriers to effective treatment of MISA clients.
