Description
Early intervention (EI) and home visiting professionals may encounter suspected or confirmed substance use and substance use disorders when providing services in the home setting. Therefore, it is essential that EI and home visiting professionals understand the evidence-base related to substance use, substance use disorders, and partnering with families when there is substance use in the home. For this workshop, the Virginia Early Intervention Professional Development (VEIPD) Center and Early Impact Virginia (EIV) partnered with the Opioid Response Network (ORN) to provide the most up-to-date information on this topic.
