Assisted Treatment has always had to deal with stigma from a negative
public perception; however, now the stakes are much higher. It is
critical for our field to properly prepare ourselves to face new
challenges. These challenges are more serious and they are evolving
from a growing number of misinformed and misguided potentially dangerous
fronts. The impact of media is profound in not only public perception
but in its influence on elected officials, policy makers and legislators.
It is time to mobilize and prepare our response capabilities.
Learning
Objectives:
Upon
completion of this training session, participants will learn specific
techniques on how to prepare for and respond effectively to inquiries

with each other and actually put into practice the techniques and
skills they learned.
