Hampton: SBIRT for Risky Health Behaviors

The Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment tool guides the home visitor in assisting clients with both immediate feedback on potentially harmful behavior and a longer-term solution through referral to additional treatment or resources beyond what the home visitor can provide. This training explains the use of the tool and teaches how best to do a brief intervention and how to use screening tools including Virginia’s Behavioral Health Risks Screening Tool for Women of Childbearing Age. Participants will describe the reasons why Home Visitors should screen women for substance use, intimate partner violence, and mental health concerns, practice tips and techniques that can be used when screening as well as learn how to provide a “brief intervention.” *Note: Motivational Interviewing is a pre-requisite for this training. The training will take place in the Hampton Healthy Families offices in Room 1, located at 100 Old Hampton Lane, Hampton, Virginia 23669. Parking is available in the parking deck located at 555 Settlers Landing Road, Hampton, Virginia 23669. Be sure to use the first entrance into the deck, as the second is for reserved parking only. Once arrive in the building, you’ll see a reception desk, where you can get more specific instructions on Room 1’s location.
