December 13, 2019 NAADAC in Greece on March 7–13, 2020: Register Today! NAADAC, the Association of Addiction Professionals and the National Council for Behavioral Health are excited to lead the Addiction and Mental Health Counseling Professionals Delegation in Greece. Join NAADAC Executive Director Cynthia Moreno Tuohy, BSW, NCAC II, CDC III, SAP, and the National Council for Behavioral Health President and CEO Charles Ingoglia, MSW, from March 7-13, 2020, for this important international delegation that will give you a unique opportunity to learn about the state of addiction and mental health programs in the Mediterranean region of Europe. Earn up to 15 CEs! The government-imposed austerity reforms following the economic crisis of 2010 in Greece severely impacted social programs for addiction counseling and mental health services. In the years since this dramatic reduction in programs, the new government has launched several initiatives to rebuild social and humanitarian support programs. Our delegation will visit new centers and meet with our counterparts as we discuss the progress and advances in addressing addiction and mental health in Greece. Connect with addiction and mental health professionals in Greece to discuss: Epidemiology of mental health and substance use disorders in Greece; Assessment, intervention, referral, and treatment and care options; Post-austerity reform programs to address the scarcity of service providers and access to treatment; Role of primary care and community-based services in the identification and treatment of addiction for patients and affected family members; Ongoing quality of life and community rehabilitation programming; and International refugee programs and treatment for post-conflict trauma disorders.
