This month's topic is Workforce Training and Professional Development. Join us for the monthly consultation call facilitated by Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon for the Adult Peer workforce in HHS Region 10 (Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho). These calls are intended for peer support specialists, supervisors of peers, and administrators of peer-delivered services and programs. You may join any or all of these calls. While we use a recurring Zoom link, you are welcome to choose the sessions that work for your schedule and interests.
