About this event

Health • Mental health

Orama RTC invites you to challenge your understanding of self-injury by exploring an often-overlooked perspective: could it be a form of addiction?

This 1 hr CEU session uncovers the surprising behavioral and neurochemical links between self-injury and substance use, inviting you to rethink treatment approaches.

  • Explore the debate: Is self-injury an addiction in disguise?
  • Identify behavioral and neurochemical parallels between self-injury and substance use.
  • Examine obsessive and compulsive elements present in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI).
  • Discuss neurotransmitter involvement and the “rush” experience common to both behaviors.
  • Review holistic and trauma-focused treatment strategies designed to address the root issues

Seats are limited to 20 for this exclusive event happening on October 30th.

Reserve your spot now to gain valuable insights and practical strategies that will elevate your clinical practice. Light drinks and snacks will be provided.

Addressing NSSI and Substance use doesn't have to be scary, but since it is on Oct. 30th, wear your favorite, non-gory, non-political Halloween shirt for a prize.

There will be a tour of the new RTC after the talk.
