Co-occurring DisordersFamily members and addiction treatment outcomes


Hosted By: Grayken Center for Addiction Training & Technical Assistance


Family members (i.e., nuclear family, extended family, chosen family) of people with substance use disorder can positively impact addiction treatment initiation, engagement, retention, as well as sustained recovery. This training will highlight the importance of family and social support for people with SUD. The importance of evidence-based resources for families will be explained, and concrete and simple changes to current models of addiction treatment to engage the family will be introduced.

Following this training, participants will have the knowledge to:

  • Describe the impact of family members on the lives and treatment of loved ones with substance use disorder

Performance Management


Hosted By: Community Health Training Institute


Managing staff performance is one of the most important roles of supervisors in any organization. When we think of performance management, we tend to think of annual performance reviews or addressing significant personnel issues. When supervisors manage all performance, including excellent performance, with intentionality, there are fewer issues to address and conducting performance reviews isn’t such a heavy lift.
