The Great Lakes ATTC in partnership with Advocates for Human Potential (AHP) is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.
"What they don’t understand is that I don’t stop because I can’t stop. I do care and I don’t need lectures."
Join us to look at current trends, best practices, and innovations in addressing the needs of pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorders (SUDs), their infants, and their families. The cross-disciplinary training team integrates subject matter expertise, passion, real-world examples, and practical tips, all in an informative and enjoyable session. Providers and policy makers will expand their knowledge and be motivated to take immediate actions that support this vulnerable population and help improve health outcomes. Following this training, the Great Lakes Addiction Technology Transfer Center is hosting a learning community for providers that want to take a deeper dive into effective services for pregnant and parenting women.
Everyone who attends this session in full will receive 1.5 NAADAC CEUs.
