What Is Included

This on-demand, online training explores co-occurring disorders in sociocultural context. The course includes several modules. Videos, presentations, and readings are provided within the modules. You are free to take as much time as you need to review these resources. Once you have reviewed and mastered the content of each module, you will be required to pass a short quiz before proceeding to a new module. You must pass all quizzes before you are eligible for verification that you have successfully completed the course.

We suggest you take your time, view content as many times as you like, and access suggested readings and resources when possible. It is not necessary to complete the course in a single sitting. You are free to open and close the course as many times as you like.

We ask you to have an open attitude as you go through this course. At times it may seem as if we are reviewing what you already know. However, paying close attention is likely to provide an opportunity to realize subtle differences and important nuances in the treatment of co-occurring disorders. Finally, we hope you enjoy this learning format and that this course supports your many contributions to counselors, clients, and agencies.
