B5 - Mindfully Including Families in Maternal-Child Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Monday, May 20, 2024
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM PST
Location: Willshire Ballroom
CE: 1.5
Presentation Summary: This interactive workshop will weave didactic understanding and experiential practice to explore an innovative, family centered approach to residential maternal-child substance use treatment. We will discuss the many definitions of family, the varied needs of families, and how integrated treatment can improve overall family health. This workshop will focus on mindfulness-based interventions involving mothers, children, and their families to address relationships, intergenerational and complex stress, and adverse childhood experiences. Workshop participants will participate in a mindfulness activity led by the presenters, and complete a therapeutic project used in our programming.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will:
  • Describe the influences of family and social relationships on substance use disorder and recovery.
  • Describe compassion and how it is associated with the relationship to oneself and others in the context of substance use disorder and recovery.
  • Lead people in treatment for substance use disorder through a family tree development activity.
