The New England School of Addiction and Prevention Studies, often called Summer School, is a 5-day (June 7-11) intensive, virtual learning experience to further knowledge, skills, and experience in the field of substance use disorder services. Each year, participants from many disciplines come together to form a unique, diverse learning community. 

In order to safely meet your continuing education needs this summer, we are pleased to take the 52nd Summer School learning community online once again:

• Select from intensive courses from across the continuum of treatment, prevention, and recovery.
• Virtual courses will take place live by videoconference, allowing for interaction, including breakout groups and case studies.
• In addition to courses: plenary sessions, virtual community, post-program events, and more!
• Options are available to attend the full program or any number of days.
• Earn up to 26 Contact Hours during the program week, or up to 30 with additional post-event sessions! 
• Partial New England State Scholarships are available.
• Audience: Treatment, prevention, recovery support professionals, those working in related social services and healthcare, and all who recognize the impact of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs on individuals, families, and communities.

A Note about the 2021 New England School of Addiction and Prevention Studies Program:

For over 50 years, we have welcomed new and returning Summer School participants to experience the unique learning environment of the New England School of Addiction and Prevention Studies. In 2020, near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we quickly pivoted to a virtual format to ensure that the school continued. This year, for the safety of our Summer School community, we will again gather virtually. We understand that many attendees each year plan on the Summer School for their professional development, and many depend on a large number of contact hours offered for their credentialing. Addiction remains a critical issue, particularly as New England and the world experiences the COVID-19 pandemic and our field. We thank our faculty, planners, and state agency and state and regional training partners for their assistance in ensuring that a strong online program is available...We are pleased to offer this Virtual “Re-Imagined 2.0” New England School of Addiction and Prevention Studies.

Sincerely,
Denise Adams and AEI Team
