Description
According to the Department of Labor, the United States will need up to 31% increase in addiction trained professionals. Currently, the addiction counselor workforce is facing a shortage due to an increase in awareness by the public of the addiction crisis, increase in awareness of the medical profession for more treatment options as more patients identify with their own addiction or that of a family member, and increase in access of alcohol and other drugs by younger ages. How do we recruit new professionals into this fast paced, high impact, lower paid profession? In this webinar, professionals will share what they are doing to change the rhetoric into action!
Cynthia Moreno Tuohy will give a brief overview of recruitment impact nationally; Christina Chasak will share the powerful work in action that the State of Nebraska is taking to turn the tide to recruit the new addiction professional workforce; Diane Sevening will advise us of how they recruited young members from the college program and mentored them into addiction practice and Sherri Layton will share how diverse this field of practice has become through the many new job opportunities available. Resources available to all participants including tool kits, fact sheets, student recruitment guides and much more!
