ABOUT OUR TRAINER:

Dr. Lauren Micalizzi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of

Behavioral and Social Sciences at Brown University’s School of Public

Health, where she bridges developmental and addiction science. Her

research, stemming from a PhD in Developmental Science from Boston

University and a postdoctoral fellowship at Brown’s Center for Alcohol

and Addiction Studies, focuses on the parent-child dyad during the

perinatal period and adolescence. She investigates how parental

substance use and mental health affect parenting, relationship quality,

and child development, with a central focus on the etiology, treatment,

and long-term implications of perinatal substance use, while also exploring

intergenerational risk and protective factors.

DESCRIPTION:

This training explores the major revisions introduced in the ASAM Criteria 4th

Edition, focusing specifically on the unique developmental and clinical needs of

pregnant and parenting adolescents. Participants will identify key strategies for

treating substance use in this population while evaluating the system-level

implications of these updated standards on care delivery. By the end of the session,

attendees will have a practical framework for implementing these changes to

improve outcomes for young families within the shifting landscape of behavioral

health.
