We know addiction has taken a toll on families. There’s pain and suffering that goes beyond words. Addiction also has put a significant strain on human service workers across the continuum.
This training is for anyone involved or working or living with those who suffer from SUD and wish to understand addiction and recovery more to better engage and support individuals and potentially save a family or a life.
