Workshops for Nurses

LaTonia and I are are looking forward to providing these workshops for the nursing community in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Substance abuse and chemical dependence are a growing problem, not only in nursing, but in all areas of our society. With the current economic downturn and no end anytime soon, we can expect to see an increase. Using alcohol and prescription medications to "cope" with stress can start off as a short term remedy until the crisis is over, but for a percentage of individuals, this can turn into chemical dependence. It's an unintended consequence of genetics, exposure, and inadequate or innapropriate coping skills. This is a disease that creeps up on you. NO ONE decides to become addicted to mood altering substances. As health care professionals, it's our responsibility to assist our patients AND our colleagues when faced with a chronic, progressive, unnecessarily fatal disease. Come and leaarrn more about the medical, professional, and legal consequences of turning a blind ye to this major public health problem.
