LaTonia Denise Wright, RN, JD and I are providing a series of workshops for nurses in the Greater Cincinnati area. The workshops focus on Substance Abuse and Addiction in Nursing and Nursing Law and Order. These workshops will be intimate and focused in order to allow a relaxed atmosphere and encourage interaction with all who attend.
Nurses and other health care professionals are at risk to develop substance abuse and chemical dependency. Education and training does not provide immunity for health care professionals. The stigma associated with this disease prevents early recognition and intervention, allowing the disease to progress and making successful treatment with long term recovery difficult. Continuing to deal with this public health crisis by sending non-violent addicts to prison instead of sending them to treatment, will only assure failure and hopelessness for the addict and those who care abut them.
Here are the first 2 workshop dates, times, and places. Be sure to check back for the remaining schedule.
