Screening, Brief Intervention & Referral to Treatment
*FREE EVENT 4.0 CE’s*

What is SBIRT?

SBIRT provides clinicians with evidence-based resources to work effectively with clients who engage in at-risk substance use in a variety of settings. Participants will learn how to screen their clients for substance use while assessing their level of risk. Clinicians will then gain skills to briefly intervene in order to enhance insight and motivation for behavior change.

This training equips participants with skills applicable to clients facing a variety of issues. Supervisors and Preceptors will also learn approaches to integrate SBIRT into supervision with students to support SBIRT delivery and fidelity within clinical settings.

Learning objectives:

  1. Learn what SBIRT is and how to best utilize it with clients
  2. Use validated screening tools to quantify clients’ substance use
  3. Practice risk-stratified Brief Interventions with Motivational Interviewing
  4. Develop strategies to supervise SBIRT delivery in the field

This workshop is made possible through federal funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
