Participants will increase their content knowledge of strength-based and “here and now” recovery strategies included in the Theory of Dimensionality. These include dimensions of physical, social, emotional, mental well-being and spiritual practices. They will be able to
explain the value of peer services and self-care in recovery, its principles and advantages in addressing SUD in older adults.
The training is presented in an interactive way that presents information to support deeper understanding of the problem of addiction in older adults. engages participants in discussion, and provides opportunities to experience and practice some self-care approaches. These methods of self-care can be valuable to an aging population for achieving goals in preventing SUD and gaining independence.
