About This Webinar

This session creates a deeper conversation into the challenges faced by military service members and their families related to current drug trends. The cumulative effects of deployments on mental health and the potential relationship between substance use are discussed.

Conversation includes how stigma associated with drug use in military culture can influence experience, and how this affects treatment seeking. Focus is on military service members, their families, and the impact on their community. The webinar ends with a discussion on mobilizing best practices in supporting the military community.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the impact of current drug trends on military families and communities
Examine how military-related factors may influence substance use patterns (i.e., data on what we’re seeing in our military services on drug trends)
Discover strategies for clinically engaging military service members and their family members impacted by or experiencing Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
Describe at least one change communities can make to support people with SUDs
