Pre Conference InstituteSubstance Use Disorder: Implications for Supervised Visitation Policy and PracticeWednesday September 22, 2021 Karen Oehme, J.D. Director The prevalence of Substance Use Disorders (SUD) has increased substantially in the U.S., impacting millions of children and families and the systems that serve them. This session takes a deep dive into SUD issues and their ultimate impact on supervised visitation. Participants will learn about environmental and individual issues that influence SUDs, how SUDs affect the brain, the link between childhood trauma and SUDs, the dynamics that shape hope for recovery, and so much more. The interaction of SUDs and supervised visitation will also be explored, with specific emphasis on training issues, policies, and practices that can support parents' recovery and children's healing.
