Virtual Co-Occurring Disorder (COD) Series: COD: Psychosis and SUD

Virtual Co-Occurring Disorder (COD) Series: COD: Psychosis and SUD

Join us for a new workshop learning series on the challenges facing individuals struggling with COD. This series will explore how substances of abuse and mental health concerns impact each other. Each session will offer community providers a deeper understanding of providing integrated care to support and foster overall all health and well-being.

This workshop will introduce participants to a basic understanding of psychotic disorders/thought disorders, including comparing symptoms of Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective disorders, and identifying predisposing and protective factors of thought disorders, including the impact of co-occurring SUD. The presenter will also describe tools for supporting someone experiencing psychosis.
