You are invited to join us at our monthly zoom program:
Harm Reduction: Evidence and Practical Applications with Emerging Adults
Presented by:
Dr. Nathan McClelland
Dr. Nathan McClelland is a psychologist licensed in New Jersey and New Yorik and is an associate at Morris Psychological Group in Parsippany, NJ. He works with a wide range of presenting concerns including life transition issues, and challenges of young adulthood.
Emerging adulthood has in recent years been characterized as a developmental life stage separate and distinct from both late adolescent and young adulthood. Harm reduction is comprised of a collection of concepts and strategies with the aim of minimizing negative outcomes associated, most typically, with drug and alcohol use/misuse, contrasting with abstinence-driven approaches. The presentation will look to address application of harm reduction strategies specifically within the emerging adult population.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. Summarize the current research on emerging adulthood as a distinct life phase.
2. Discuss evaluation and treatment concepts for emerging adults and failure to launch individuals
3. Identify harm reduction concepts and strategies.
4. Apply concepts discussed to applicable patients.
This program is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and graduate students. It will be presented at an intermediate level, meant for those with some prior knowledge of the subject matter. The presenter does not have any commercial support and/ or conflict of interest for this program.
