Just Released! Introduction to Treatment Models and Engagement Online Course
This course is available at no cost to the general public and provides foundational level information about treatment models and engagement strategies that support individuals who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness who have serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, substance use disorders, or co-occurring disorders.
Key Topics in the Course:
- Health disparities and risk factors for homelessness
- Treatment principles, including harm reduction and trauma-informed care
- Treatment models and care coordination
- Treatment-focused engagement and motivational interviewing
This course consists of four chapters, each of which has a series of articles and opportunities to apply knowledge through journaling and quizzes. We estimate that it will take approximately 3 hours to complete the course and the course has been accredited for 3 CEUs by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). Participants can work at their own pace, starting and stopping as they wish.
