Participants will receive handouts and homework they can use in their practice. The workshop is a good fit for mental health and substance abuse professionals, parent educators and parents themselves. The workshop will take place in two 4-hour sessions on two different days. The first day will be spent with participants learning skills while day two will include skills and discussion of participant's use of the skills.
