Reaching Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) Where They Are: Substance Use Prevention and Treatment

The New England ATTC is hosting this open-access webinar titled, "Reaching Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) Where They Are: Substance Use Prevention and Treatment" with subject matter expert Laura Grubb, MD, MPH on February 24, 2026 from 12-1PM EST. This training equips clinicians and allied professionals with practical, evidence-based strategies to prevent, identify, and address substance use among adolescents and young adults (AYA). 

Participants will review current epidemiology and morbidity trends, apply validated screening tools (including CRAFFT), and use motivational interviewing and motivational enhancement techniques to engage youth at varying stages of readiness. Emphasis is placed on developmentally appropriate, patient-centered communication, early intervention, warm handoffs, and leveraging family, community, and national resources to improve outcomes for AYA across prevention and treatment settings.
