PRESENTATIONS DETAILS
STACEY SURRATT, MS, LCAS, MT-BC
Description: We will discuss an overview of the parallel disease and recovery processes for families and identified patients with substance use and/or mental health disorders, and outline steps needed for beginning a healthy family system realignment.
Stacey has worked clinically in a variety of settings including hospitals, outpatient treatment facilities, schools, and private practice. Stacey utilizes a relationship-based approach and enjoys incorporating experiential, creative, and multi-sensory tools into sessions as a way to fully engage and retain growth from participation in the treatment process.
WARD BLANCHARD, MA, MBA, CCS, LCAS
Description: SUD “impact the whole family” and “a family disease” are common therapeutic ideal most professionals have heard before; however, professionals rarely provide the information and education on the neurological changes identified patients, families, and loved ones experience when involved in a relationship with someone suffering from a mental illness or substance use disorder. Ward Blanchard’s presentation reviews the most up-to-date neurological findings in helping professionals understand what exactly the words “family system disease” means, what evidence-based treatment options are most effective, and what role professionals play in the treatment of the family.
After 15 years of working in the field of SUDS, behavioral health, and family systems, Ward established The Blanchard Institute, LLC, a dual diagnosis outpatient center that incorporates comprehensive and innovative family-focused care. Ward and his team approach behavioral health conditions through a unique family model that utilizes multiple evidence-based modalities in their unique and trailblazing Blanchard family process.
