Webinar: Compassionate Pragmatism an Integrative Approach to Treating Problematic Substance Use

 

Andrew Tatarsky, Ph.D., Founder and Director The Center for Optimal Living will take us through a harm reduction approach which has compassion at its centre. This webinar looks at harm reduction across the range of risk behaviours associated with problematic use of substances.

Andrew is a clinical psychologist who has devoted his career to developing a comprehensive psychobiosocial understanding of the broad spectrum of addiction problems that do not necessarily require abstinence. His integrative harm reduction psychotherapy approach to treatment has compassion at its centre. He will discuss harm reduction across the range of risk behaviours associated with problematic use of substances and high-risk behaviours.
