ASAP Annual Conference in September

Albany, September 11-14, 2022

Recovery Workshops from Malik Hutchinson and Aja Stubbs

information at https://www.asapnysconference.org/ | CARC & CRPA CE credits

Veteran Supported Recovery (VSR):

A New Call to Service

"Veterans transitioning to civilian life face unique challenges, and these challenges, including mental health issues, are increasingly recognized as complicated by the effects of substance use disorder. Effective responses require facing the dimensions of the problem and embracing innovative approaches to finding solutions."

Malik Hutchinson is a member of the ASAP-New York Certification Board and served as a subject matter for VSR.

Recovery In Color:

Elevating and Empowering BIPOC Experiences in Recovery

"Focusing on the four pillars of recovery—Health, Home, Purpose, and Community—this workshop will discuss how substance use and recovery support service providers can ensure that they are providing culturally competent support services to the BIPOC they serve."

Aja B. Stubbs is a member of the ASAP-New York Certification Board (ASAP-NYCB). See the Registry Directory.

CCAR introduces new trainer terms

Does NOT affect your ASAP-NYCB training approvals

As a member of the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry, do you deliver CCAR trainings? If so, CCAR's new protocols/terms apply to you!

ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry Governance Committee member, Lori Drescher, summarizes CCAR's instructions:

First, acquire the CCAR Recovery Coach Professional (RCP), CCAR's designation (not a professional certification)
Then, add the "Facilitator" (RCP-F)

Quoting from a CCAR information session, Lori Drescher advises that registry members who want to continue offering CCAR training products follow these steps (in this order) as soon as possible:

Complete the RCP Application https://addictionrecoverytraining.org/rcp/ ($149.99)
Schedule a panel interview when invited by CCAR; Interviews are held mostly on Mondays. See details here.
Take the 1 day CCAR Facilitator Training; upcoming dates are Tuesday, August 16 or Tuesday, September 20. CCAR will schedule more dates soon. (Free)

Transition to these new protocols/terms has begun and will be compete by January 1, 2024. If this applies to you, you would be well advised to "get with the program" - now!
