This is an intermediate level training that is designed to provide context and interventions based in CBT treatment model for practitioners working with individuals who experience co-occurring substance use and psychosis. This training is designed for practitioners with a foundational knowledge of CBT individual therapy. The training will provide attendees with the opportunity to think about the impact and intersections of the experiences of psychosis and substance use with considerations to specific substances of misuse.
