There is a national shortage of addiction care professionals, and societal needs for this workforce are projected to increase over the next decade.

While many things contribute to this issue, one major challenge is the stigma that often surrounds people with substance use disorders and the care available to them.

To address and reduce stigma about addiction care, the Northwest ATTC launched the Workforce Spotlight Initiative, a series of interviews with individual workforce members in our region that will showcase the positive aspects of their work and the many ways in which they support people who use drugs or alcohol in our communities.

We'll be featuring different members of the Region 10 (AK, ID, OR, WA) workforce on a bimonthly basis. Sign up for our newsletter to find out when a new video has been added!
