Using Cultural Elements and Brief Interventions to Reduce Substance Use with Hispanic and Latinx Communities — Webinar Friday, October 13, 2023 10 a.m. ET

SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) is a preventive public health approach used to identify and intervene with persons whose pattern of use put them at risk for, or who are experiencing, substance-related health and other psychosocial problems, such as HIV and HCV, or exacerbated mental health issues. Prevention with Latinx communities includes a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and inclusive framework conducive to screening and early intervention. The content will inform on how taking a few minutes to conduct a person-centered brief intervention can help motivate reduction of substance use with Hispanic, Latino and Latinx communities. The approach further identifies those with high potential for a substance use disorder and opportunities for accessing culturally relevant resources. https://pttcnetwork.org/centers/northeast-caribbean-pttc/event/using-cultural-elements-and-brief-interventions-reduce?utm_source=SAMHSA&utm_campaign=e39df08ce2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_10_03_08_55&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-e39df08ce2-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D
