I truly appreciated the can-do spirit of this presentation, with supporting epi and research to back up the message. Strongly rooted in behavioral insights, even if not mentioned explicitly. Selective reflection is a really promising idea.

The examples of motivational interviewing and bringing out change talk were very helpful. Also nice to hear about Bridge clinic, I will use this for my older pediatric patients. Great talk.

This was an excellent presentation. Setting SMART goals is something that is more doable than trying to fix it.

I am an NP, and I work in a community mental health setting.  I have many clients with SUD.  What struck me from this course was the continued emphasis about how treatable SUDs are.  Many of my clients have struggled with SUD for years, some in remission, many not.  I do get discouraged with some of my clients.  I believe this is likely the result of a selection bias, as many of the individuals who do recover, no longer need treatment, so I am less likely to see those in recovery for long term treatment.  So, it was a good reminder that most people are able to recover with treatment.  Thankyou for a wonderful course.
