Profile
Click here --> This two hour presentation on Addictions is an introduction to my online course SWU 130 Addictions and Substance Use Disorders. Many helping professionals are lacking in practical information in working with chemically dependent clients and this course offers a comprehensive look at addictions and the treatment of chemical dependency disorders.
This course transfers to ASU as a Social Work Departmental elective.
