In February 2020, SATTC began to host "Ask the Expert" on the 2nd Tuesday of every month on topics surrounding Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), co-occurring diseases, health disparities, and more. Experts in the field will share the latest knowledge and answer questions from our community.

As professionals and practitioners move beyond webinars and training to more Intensive Technical Assistance (TA) needs, Ask the Expert becomes an infinite space to ask questions and increase your knowledge on some of the most popular and buzzing topics in the behavioral health and SUD fields.

 

Objectives

• To increase the knowledge capacity surrounding SUDs/OUDs
• To increase the awareness of emerging SUD hot topics and provide expert-level knowledge on myths surrounding many of them.

Since 2002, SATTC Faith Initiative, "Let's Have the Conversation! One Voice: One Mission", has been dedicated to bridging the gap between community providers, and faith-based leaders in the southeast region. Through the facilitation of conferences, educational events, leadership academies, roundtables, and listening sessions, SATTC has been able to bring together interfaith leaders to discuss how to be a catalyst for change in their communities.

SATTC is committed and understands the importance of collaborating with and enhancing the knowledge and skills of faith leaders to help individuals suffering from substance use disorders (SUD).  SATTC invites faith leaders in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina to join us and become an integral part of the conversation on substance use disorders.

Vision

To provide technical assistance and training to faith leaders and communities of faith to increase the SUD workforce capacity within faith settings and develop multiple pathways to recovery and access to care.

Mission

• Dialogue and strengthen the substance use disorder knowledge for people working in communities of faith.
• Teach communities of faith how to be a catalyst for change in their communities.
• Teach faith communities how to spark the conversation that “recovery is real, and treatment does work”
• Bridge the gap between faith systems and community providers.
• Empower faith communities to reduce the stigma associated with substance use disorders.
• Provide measurable results for our target population.
• Build capacity associated with substance use disorders that will aid in creating powerful and sustainable recovery ministries.
• Promote access to services and resources that will empower communities and their partners in addiction. 
• The SATTC will help Faith Leaders create a welcoming and supportive environment.
