Black People’s Mental Health Matters By Patric Johnson  As I enter into the “midlife” stage in the Human Life Cycle, I am grateful for new choices I’ve made in seeking out assistance and discovering resources like “This Is My Brave,” to cope with my mental health. I look back at my adolescent and early adulthood years and remember the struggles I experienced with what was going on with me and how to address it. I was not mindful of the therapy or support groups out there that could guide me along my journey dealing with anxiety and depression. Keep reading... At Last By Jada Bromberg Days have come where I wake up A feather is how I would describe The delusional feeling I now abide Like surfing a wave at its peak At last, joy is rushing into me Commitment, strive, and integrity Making time for things I love Pushing myself to never give up Keep reading...

Earn a NAADAC Specialty Online Training Certificate!

June 22, 2020 Earn a NAADAC Specialty Online Training Certificate! Did you know that NAADAC offers specialty online trainings that address specific addiction treatment-related education needs such as clinical supervision in the addiction profession and addiction treatment in military & veteran culture? Upon completion of each six-part training series, you can apply for the respective certificate evidencing your accomplishment. Member price: $150 Non-member price: $200 (Join NAADAC today!) Please note that each training/certificate must be purchased separately. Addiction Treatment in Military & Veteran Culture Six-Part Webinar Series Almost one out of every three veterans seeking treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) also has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is important to learn the diagnostic criteria, evidence-based treatment, and commonly associated problems with co-occurring SUD and PTSD. However, it is equally important to understand the unique culture of service members, veterans, and their families. In order to support those who serve and their families, NAADAC created the Addiction Treatment in Military & Veteran Culture specialty online training webinar series, presented by Duane K. L. France, MA, MBA, LPC, a combat veteran and clinical mental health counselor. After completing this six-part webinar series, attendees will be able to demonstrate a greater understanding of co-occurring disorders within military-affiliated populations. Those who successfully attend the full webinar series and pass all six CE quizzes for this six-part series will be eligible to apply for the Addiction Treatment in Military & Veteran Culture Certificate. Clinical Supervision in the Addiction Profession Six-Part Webinar Series Clinical supervision is a mutual endeavor enhanced by a trusting-bidirectional relationship that leads to professional development and enhanced client care through mentoring, guidance, and clinical oversight (Durham, 2019). With the goal of maintaining clinical efficiency, adherence to ethical guidelines, and protection of those most vulnerable, NAADAC created the Clinical Supervision in the Addiction Profession specialty online training series, presented by five nationally recognized trainers. This six-part on-demand training series will provide critical training on current trends and research, technology-based and evidence-based practices, and the overall structure of effective clinical supervision. In addition, this series serves as a guided companion to NAADAC’s Clinical Supervision: An Overview of Functions, Processes, and Methodology manual. Those who successfully attend the full series and pass all six CE quizzes for this six-part series will be eligible to apply for the Clinical Supervision in the Addiction Profession Certificate. Closed Captioning for NAADAC Specialty Online Trainings Closed captioning is available on all NAADAC Specialty Online Trainings! The captioning capabilities are in compliance with the practices defined in Worldwide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
