Helping Homeless Families Find Their Strengths and Build Stability One Step at a Time

Location: Thornton This workshop will highlight outreach and engagement models using a non-traditional, assertive home visiting approach that integrates counseling and clinical care coordination to build relationships with "at risk" or "hard to reach" families with substance use and/or co-occurring disorders. It is client-driven, anticipatory, and culturally sensitive; it also involves family-based advocacy and is crucial to family members accessing appropriate health, mental health and substance use treatment and recovery. Intermediate level. Presented by: Susan Dargon-Hart, MSW, LICSW, Institute for Health and Recovery, Cambridge, MA.
