January 28th - Adult ADHD and Substance Use Disorders:  A Complicated Relationship (11:30am - 1:00pm)

Presented by Dr. Lin Hogan

Session Description:

Recent research continues to highlight the high risk for comorbid Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in patients with Substance Use Disorders (SUD); and conversely, the high risk for SUD developing in ADHD across the lifespan, particularly in the context of comorbidity.  Although ADHD pharmacotherapy does not increase the risk for SUD, medication treatment alone does not appear to be particularly effective in treating SUD in currently active substance abusing populations.  This training will focus on the pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, and behavioral interventions to treat and manage comorbid adult ADHD and SUD.

Learning Objectives: 

Objective #1: Attendees will learn the nature of ADHD and Substance Use Disorder diagnoses, characteristics of their comorbidities, and how the two conditions might be linked.

Objective #2: Attendees will gain an understanding of the types of and need for early treatment interventions of both conditions.

Objective #3: Attendees will learn the pharmacological and behavioral approaches currently used to manage these comorbidities.

February 4th - The Therapeutic Use of Humor in Mental Health & Substance Use Recovery (11:30am - 1:00pm)

Presented by AJ Schreier

Session Description: 

While humor is a powerful tool in everyday life—reducing stress, improving health, and building connections—it is often overlooked or discouraged in behavioral health treatment settings. In this engaging and interactive session, attendees will explore how humor can be effectively used to support recovery from substance use and mental health challenges. Drawing on both research and lived experience, this session will challenge the assumption that recovery must always be serious. Instead, it offers an evidence-based argument for why laughter and lightness can be critical elements of healing.

Participants will examine how humor is sometimes viewed as a sign of denial or avoidance and why these perceptions can hinder engagement. Attendees will learn how to recognize appropriate uses of humor, adapt to individual client needs, and responsibly use humor to build rapport and promote emotional safety. This session includes demonstrations of humor techniques, discussions on boundary-setting, and strategies for cultivating connection in group and individual therapy.

Learning Objectives: 

Objective #1: Discuss some of the reasons why the use of humor is often discouraged when it comes to treating and recovering from mental health and substance use.

Objective#2: Review the research behind the use of humor and the beneficial benefits it has to offer people working towards recovery.

Objective #3: Learn about strategies and ways to include the use of humor in the treatment process that can lead to facilitating better connection and growth as we help those recover.
