Hosted by Rutger’s Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP), join me for a live webinar this November. This training presents a clinical roadmap for harm reduction psychotherapy: a compassionate, non‑judgmental framework for engaging and treating clients navigating active substance use and addictive behaviors. Moving beyond abstinence‑only models, the approach equips clinicians to support a range of client‑directed goals—abstinence, moderation, or safer use—while honoring client autonomy and readiness for change. The curriculum addresses co‑occurring complexities commonly accompanying substance use, including histories of trauma, relationship difficulties, and mood and anxiety disorders. Evidence‑informed therapeutic strategies for cultivating compassion, strengthening the therapeutic alliance, and collaboratively establishing sustainable positive change are reviewed. Participants will leave with practical skills to foster collaborative engagement, integrate mindfulness practices into care, and teach self‑regulation techniques that support harm reduction goals.
