Brought to you by Northwest MHTTC in collaboration with C4 Innovations
Please note: we are no longer accepting applications for this opportunity; due to high demand, all seats have been filled.
The Northwest MHTTC is excited to sponsor up to 25 spots for members of the workforce in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington State (HHS Region 10) to participate in this live learning community hosted by our partner, C4 Innovations.
We will email only those who are accepted or wait-listed to confirm their status and to follow up with registration details.
We will conduct a lottery to select applicants and to create a wait list from the applications we receive.
When we compassionately and skillfully incorporate best practices into our work, people are more likely to trust and allow us to partner with them to make positive changes in their lives. Embodying best practices is essential in our work with people who have too often been marginalized and mistreated. This training provides an overview of selected person-centered, racially-equitable, housing-focused, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, peer-integrated, self-compassionate approaches that inform our work.
This 5-week live learning community will be held over 5 Thursdays: March 18-April 15, 2021, at 10-11:15 AM Pacific Time.
Staff at all levels of health and human service agencies seeking to incorporate best practices into their programs.
Certificates of completion will be awarded to participants who have attended all five live webcasts (or watched the webcast recordings in their entirety), completed all required learning activities, scored higher than 80% on each weekly quiz, and completed the course evaluation form and the certificate request form. Six (6) hours of continuing education credit will be awarded upon completion of this course through ASWB and NBCC. Ten (10) hours of continuing education credit will be awarded upon completion of this course through NAADAC. Certificates will be emailed directly to participants roughly two weeks after completion of the final session.
