NICABM – Psychopharmacology For Mental Health Practitioners

As a therapist, you strive to provide comprehensive care and address the full spectrum of your client’s needs.

So when it comes to working with clients who are on psychotropic medications, that often requires:

• Understanding how those medications can support the therapeutic process
• Answering your client’s questions about benefits, risks, and side effects
• Catching any adverse effects your client might be experiencing
• Working through your client’s concerns or fears about taking medication
• Recognizing early signs of abuse and implementing prevention strategies
