Welcome to the Addictions Program Clinical Day 2010

The CAMH Addictions Program proudly presents its inaugural ‘Clinical Day’, which we plan to make a regular event. The Clinical Day is a one-day event designed to provide education and training on evidence-based practices in addictions treatment while sharing information about enhancing access to addictions services. We invite health care practitioners and community partners to join us for an interactive learning experience where information- sharing, dialogue and networking will take place. Our workshops in addiction treatment cover a range of key topics: borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, chronic pain and opioid dependence, strategies for smoking cessation, group work with concurrent disorders, support for family members of people with concurrent disorders, trauma and addiction treatment as applied to youth and adults, and exploring population-specific services designed for Aboriginal clients and the LGBT population. We are hosting this Clinical Day to share knowledge about the latest clinical practices and research findings in addiction treatment and to enhance awareness of the array of treatment services in CAMH’s Addictions Program.
