This course will be hidden for our team to do an annual content review from September 30.  This will re-open by December 1, 2024!

New Learning Experience

You asked for more On Demand training options, and we listened! We are calling this new programming Connecting the Dots.

In a podcast format, Kyle Mounts and Lonnetta Albright from the original Women and SUD ECHO team will host experts in the field. Experts will also come from our provider community who will discuss relevant and current research in the field of substance use recovery for women-- to spark meaningful discussion aimed at facilitating practice change.

Our goal is simple—to provide current, relevant information intended to: Increase Awareness & Knowledge; and Identify Application Strategies for changes in practice to support the work you do. On the second Friday of every month, a new podcast will go live.

​Attendees will have until September 30, 2024 to watch or listen to the podcast and complete the accompanying check-point quiz for continuing education credit. Each podcast will be posted with a set of articles that you can read for the session in order to acquaint yourself with the topic or learn something new. This is not necessary, but it may help you understand and create your own questions for discussion that you might have with your teams and clients.
