Participants will examine strategies to practice at the full scope of nursing practice, build therapeutic relationships with clients and communities, and recognize organizational champions who support effective addiction care. Through discussion and reflection, attendees will gain practical tools to improve care delivery, workplace culture, and personal well-being.Upon completion, learners will be able to apply knowledge and skills to enhance patient outcomes, professional resilience, and healthcare team effectiveness.
