Description

Do you work with clients whose drinking has become problematic but who don’t identify as “alcoholics”?

Perhaps they don’t meet criteria for an alcohol use disorder. Perhaps they have zero interest in traditional abstinence-based treatment methods that involve going to rehab or attending 12-step groups. And, above all, you’re not a “substance use counselor.”

You’re not alone. Many clients struggle with excessive alcohol use, or disordered drinking, but are unwilling to question their relationship with alcohol without feeling pressured to admit they are an alcoholic. This type of problematic alcohol use is rampant, underreported, and showing up in clinician offices everywhere.

Watch Amanda E. White, LPC, clinician, author, and a sober person herself, for this 3-hour recording, as she teaches you how to help clients pivot away from the question “Am I an alcoholic?” and consider instead “Would my life be better without alcohol?”

Using a harm-reduction approach that meets clients wherever they are on the journey to sobriety, Amanda will show you how to help clients:

Explore their alcohol use in a non-stigmatizing way
Build the motivation to cut back or abstain from alcohol altogether
Work through barriers to recovery and relapse prevention
Optimize the three essential tools for recovery from disordered drinking—whether they choose to stop drinking or not
And so much more!
