Change is rarely a straight line, and effective clinical work starts with understanding where a client is in the process.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based type of therapy that helps individuals learn how to live in the moment, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.

Substance use is changing and knowing what to look for can make a real difference. Middle school is a time when students are navigating major social, emotional, and developmental changes. As a middle school teacher, you may be among the first to notice shifts in behavior, mood, attendance, peer relationships, or academic functioning that could signal a student needs support. The UFT Member Assistance Program is offering Health Speaks, a training series designed to help members better understand current substance use trends, recognize warning signs, and feel more prepared to respond when someone may be at risk.
