A 6-Hour Training with Jacqui Abikoff, LICSW, MLADC
8:30am-4:00pm
130 Pembroke Road, Suite 150, Concord, NH 03301
Presentation: This workshop will examine common ethical and practical issues faced by Recovery Support Workers in a variety of settings. It will focus on communication and boundary issues, clarification of expectations, provide frameworks for sorting out priorities and competing loyalties, and help establish baselines for mutual understanding and respect in interdisciplinary work settings. Ethical conflicts and dilemmas will be addressed through discussion and situational analysis. Strategies for managing these conflicts will be explored.
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the similarities and differences in expectations and responsibilities placed on them in different service delivery settings;
- Identify differences in the treatment and recovery approaches to intervention with individuals with substance use disorder;
- Balance the peer-to-peer relationship that is the strength of recovery supports with the boundary requirements and service delivery expectations of clinical and non-clinical work settings; and
- Understand the importance of documentation and how to complete it in a clear, professional and ethical manner.
