Advanced SAR: Sex & Drugs

Title of Event: Advanced SAR: Sex & Drugs
 
Description of Event:
This is the third time that Bianca Laureano, PhD, MA, CSE, CSES, and Anne Hodder-Shipp, CSE, will present this intensive, two-day training for practicing and emerging sexuality professionals as well as professionals working in addiction treatment and recovery. 
This unique Advanced Sexual Attitude Reassessment (SAR) is designed to help attendees identify, challenge, and explore their viewpoints, biases, knowledge gaps, and judgments about the various mind-altering substances present in our communities while expanding their understanding of the roles these substances might play in our clients’ (and our own) lives – especially our sex lives.
 
Trainings about sex and substance use are rare, and those that exist often center clinical or legal perspectives that do not realistically reflect our varied relationships to drugs and alcohol. As more U.S. states explore drug decriminalization, clinical use of psychedelics to treat trauma and mental illnesses, and legalization of recreational cannabis/marijuana, professionals need and deserve up-to-date trainings that help them explore how to best serve their clients in this fast-changing field.
