Drew will be presenting Project Empathy: The Neuroscience of Addiction Meets Positive Psychology on October 3rd from 3:30 – 5 PM in the Cypress Room.
Embark on a transformative journey with Project Empathy, a workshop designed to dismantle the stigmatization surrounding substance use disorders. Rooted in evidence-based practices, this innovative session provides a profound exploration of the neuroscience of addiction. By seamlessly integrating the latest research, we unveil barriers, shedding light on why current treatment models often fall short and leave a significant population unsupported. Introducing solution-focused therapy, strength-based approaches, positive psychology, and empathy as potent tools, this workshop offers practical insights for incorporating these principles into a range of substance use disorder-related interactions. Whether in casual engagements or professional treatment methodologies, discover how to infuse empathy and positive intervention into every facet of your approach. Stay informed with up-to-date information on the impact of substance use, with a dedicated focus on the unique challenges faced by adolescents. Project Empathy serves as your gateway to a more compassionate and effective understanding of substance use disorders. Join us in breaking down barriers, fostering empathy, and reshaping the narrative around addiction. It’s time to transform knowledge into action and ensure that everyone, without exception, belongs and matters.
