Featuring Lisa Connors, PhD, LCPC, LPC, NCC, this training offers real-world strategies and interactive case-based learning to prepare you for today’s most pressing clinical realities.

You’ll explore the intersection of HIV, STIs, and substance use in diverse populations, and learn how a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach can transform treatment planning and client engagement.
