This presentation will address the following addiction-related women's issues: (1) relationship status/interpersonal violence, (2) stigma/social roles, (3) mental health concerns, and (4) exposure to trauma. Counselor educators will discuss the diversity aspects among women (e.g., identity and development regarding age, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity) that influence recovery and the audience will also explore effective pedagogical methods to be used with counselors-in-training.
