Substance use often begins in adolescence, making early identification and intervention critical. This session introduces the SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) framework and its application with youth. Participants will explore effective, trauma-informed strategies for engaging adolescents, learn how to navigate sensitive conversations, and walk away with practical tools for integrating SBIRT into their own settings. Whether you’re new to SBIRT or looking to strengthen your approach, this session offers actionable insights tailored for adolescent care.
