Welcome to the Connecting the Dots Podcast!
This podcast is here to help you develop and discuss new best practices in the substance use prevention and treatment field. Think of it as an hour to enrich yourself, connect with your peers, and maybe take some time away from clients while still being productive. You are welcome to speak up or soak it in.
Connecting the Dots is the overarching umbrella for all of our trainings- there's a topic of interest for everyone! These topics are not demographic-specific.
