Substance Use and Parenting
Presented by Dr. Stephanie Tabashneck, PsyD, JD, Licensed Psychologist, Director, CLBB Neurolaw Library, Senior Fellow, Law and Applied Neuroscience. Center for Law, Brain and Behavior at Massachusetts General Hospital, Petrie Flom-Center at Harvard Law School
Substance use disorders frequently co-occur within families involved in the juvenile court system, creating complex, high-risk, and high-conflict cases. This session focuses on navigating juvenile court cases when substance use dynamics are present. Drawing on current research and neuroscience, participants will learn to set realistic expectations, understand the impact of substance use on caregiving and decision-making, and identify practical safeguards that can be incorporated into best interest recommendations to more effectively advocate for children.
This training is provided by Ohio CASA and approved for 1.5 hours of Rule 48 training credits.
