A: Consciously Engaging with People Who Use Drugs & the Recovery Community
Building a strong peer workforce of people who have lived experience with substance use disorder is an effective way to create and sustain a recovery-oriented system of care. It’s important to engage with people who use drugs and the recovery community. This workshop will help ensure the workforce understands how to meet the needs of people who use drugs and people living in recovery from substance-use disorder. Trained behavioral health specialists will be better equipped to ensure health equity for all their clients, prevent overdoses, and identify resource gaps. They will also be better prepared to work alongside trained peers in their integrated systems.
