SUBMISSIONS – Each workshop will be 90 minutes in length and offer interactive learning about a specific substance-use related topic. Workshops must focus on building specific skills in clinical practice, education, research, community action, or policy/advocacy. The most desirable workshop sessions will ask learners to practice or develop concrete skills or techniques during the course of the session and then bring those skills back to disseminate in their home communities. Workshop proposals from presenters trained in any discipline are welcome with preference given to multidisciplinary teams of presenters. Workshop proposals that plan to disseminate information in a lecture or panel format only will not be accepted.
‘PEOPLE FIRST’ language is required. Examples of clinically accurate and non-stigmatizing terminology are provided in AMERSA’s Policy & Procedure for Professional Presentations which all facilitators will be asked to review and sign as part of the submission process.
Workshops facilitators will be assigned to present on either the afternoon of Friday, November 14 or Saturday, November 15. All co-presenters must be available to present on either day. We are unable to accommodate presenters’ individual availability during scheduling. Please ensure that all listed co-presenters are aware of the scheduling requirements before submitting your proposal.
