The ASAM Criteria 4th Edition, Volume 2: Adolescents and Transition-Aged Youth Core Concepts One-Day Live Virtual Training Events

7 CEs
8:30 am Central - 4:30 pm Central 

We recently launched a milestone in youth behavioral care: The ASAM Criteria, Fourth Edition, Volume 2: Adolescents and Transition-Aged Youth. Now, join us for the first-ever standalone training on The ASAM Criteria^® for youth and young adults. 

Our expert-led training focuses on evidence-informed, developmentally appropriate guidelines specifically designed for adolescents (under 18) and transition-aged youth (16-25). Our decades of leadership in youth treatment and family engagement also provide you with deeper, more practical insight.

This one-day training is hands-on and highly interactive; you'll gain an understanding of:

• Understanding unique treatment considerations for adolescents and transition-aged youth.
• Recognizing the major updates to the adolescent continuum of care.
• Identifying the new and updated dimensions and subdimensions to the youth assessment process. 
• Guiding family collaboration, which is essential for effective youth treatment. 

Our core training is designed for:
For those working in youth care, this training offers essential guidelines and best practices for the prevention, early intervention, and treatment of substance use disorders.

• Treatment programs
• Clinicians
• School Leadership
• Counselors
• Case managers
• Prevention specialists
• Juvenile justice programs
• Behavioral health teams

For providers and facilities treating ages 16-25, we examine the distinct biological, emotional, and social challenges of this age group-ensuring care is truly age-appropriate, not simply age-adjusted.

While The ASAM Criteria, Fourth Edition, Volume 1: Adults and the accompanying trainings are comprehensive, it does not highlight the specific adolescent considerations that this volume provides.

Our Advanced Application One-Day Youth Training is an immersive session focused on applying The ASAM Criteria, Youth Volume, in complex, case-based scenarios. We recommend starting with the Core Training before enrolling in Advanced.
