Webinar: Women in substance use disorder treatment: gaps and challenges for clinicians

Description

We are excited to announce our next webinar in the Connect & Learn series
Webinar: Women in substance use disorder treatment: gaps and challenges for clinicians

Do women with substance use disorders present the same way as men? Are there particular risk factors or vulnerabilities that clinicians need to consider? And do the treatments we offer work as effectively (and as safely) for women as they do for men?
This clinically-focused webinar will explore the research evidence for differences between men and women in substance use disorder presentations, and the rationale for different models of treatment. There will be a specific focus on trauma in recovery, and understanding how and why women may need adapted models of care.
Presenter
Dr Shalini Arunogiri is an addiction psychiatrist and Clinical Lead (Statewide Services) at Turning Point, Eastern Health. Her research background includes a PhD on risk markers for methamphetamine psychosis and investigating treatment models and targets for women in recovery from addictive disorders.
