Event Description:
Human service and community professionals often encounter clients/patients who present or have underlying Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). SUD professionals, who have worked in the field for decades, share their expertise, wisdom, and hope with professionals working with this population. This online 2-hour workshop consists of a moderator/panelist and 5 additional panelists. The workshop is being presented in order to capture the history of the North Carolina SUD field from their diverse personal perspectives (e.g., gender; sexual orientation; race) and roles (e.g., administrator, supervisor, counselor, trainer). The last 45 minutes of the workshop will be a Q & A period.
