Title : Managing destructive emotions and habit to maintain recory
Abstract:
In this presentation, Mr. Jay Chase will discuss what his journey to over half a decade of sobriety looked like for him personally to connect with the audience. He will discuss the top reasons for a person who suffers from substance abuse to return to using. He will also discuss why individual growth and personal development is vital during recovery and discuss what worked for him to undergo this practice to help prevent other people from returning to using. This presentation is specifically designed to join medical, addiction and behavioural health professionals and those influencing those practices to change their attitudes, increase their knowledge and competencies around substance use disorder issues facing today’s diverse society in order to develop and implement effective prevention and intervention / treatment programs and strategies through science, policy and practice. Ultimately, this will create improvement in ‘systems’ and clinical practices and client care in individual and community practices / programs.
