Wellness-Based Addictions Counselling
In this course, Dr. Philip Clarke shows you how wellness-based addictions counselling can not only help clients in treatment to achieve higher levels of wellness; it can also positively affect clients’ substance use. The principles and wellness assessments you can use are outlined, and you get a glimpse of how wellness is threaded through the whole relapse prevention effort.
About this course
<p>In this course, Dr. Philip Clarke (Ph.D., LCMHC, Associate Teaching Professor, Wake Forest University) takes you on an energetic tour of WBAC: Wellness-Based Addictions Counselling. Asserting the four foundational elements of balance, interconnectedness, holism, and strength, Dr. Clarke shows how these elements manifest in wellness models, such as SAMHSA’s eight-dimension model. He identifies wellness assessments that capture the client’s whole life (not merely their using habits) and offers examples of wellness-based interventions which work for the relapse prevention aspect of addictions treatment. A wellness plan is offered which can replace the traditional treatment plan.</p>
