Discussing substance use with clients during the COVID-19 pandemic: A motivational interviewing approach. Psychological trauma : theory, research, practice and policy Walker, D. D., Jaffe, A. E., Pierce, A. R., Walton, T. O., Kaysen, D. L. 2020

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, trauma-exposed individuals may have heightened risk for substance use. Using substances to cope may contribute to the development of problematic substance use over time. It is imperative to initiate conversations about substance use with clients during this time and motivational interviewing offers an ideal framework for doing so.
