Course Description

Addressing the Specific Behavioral Health Needs of Men looks at how gen­der-specific treatment strategies can improve outcomes for men. The physical, psychological, social, and spir­itual effects of substance use and abuse on men can be quite different from the effects on women, and those differences have implica­tions for treatment in behavioral health set­tings. This course addresses these distinc­tions. It provides practical information based on available evidence and clinical experience that can help counselors more effectively treat men with substance use disorders. (SAMHSA, 2013).

This course helped me to understand my fathers and brothers behavior and a new level of forgiveness has been achieved. This course has taught me to look beneath the surface of a man with understanding and tolerance. With men in particular i feel a good counselor should listen more to understand than to respond
