The goals for this workshop are to explore the intersection of cravings management and how trauma could impact this process. Participants should expect to discuss cravings management techniques, review the literature on trauma’s impact on learning and elicit a discussion of multifaceted approaches that have worked for those on the front lines of SUD treatment. This dynamic presentation is both experiential and educational with the use of mixed-media and pop-culture references.
