For this project, the ATTC has partnered with the Region III - Title X Family Planning Program to build capacity for its provider network to implement evidence-based screening tools, provide targeted counseling, and when appropriate, refer patients to treatment for substance use disorders. The launch meeting will orient participants to the project, and begin the process of developing their SBIRT implementation plans. Participants will embrace their role as implementation facilitator: making decisions, identifying needs, and overcoming challenges to improve their program's clinical practice.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Describe the importance of implementing SBIRT in Title X family planning sessions

• Have an understanding of the Intensive Technical Assistance 9-month project, and its role in implementation facilitation

• Apply implementation facilitation skills rehearsed in small-group sessions, and incorporate into their site's SBIRT Implementation plan

Up to four staff per Title X agency may attend. Travel and accommodation funding is available for up to two staff per agency (additional info provided upon registration).
