Description

This training will identify potential gaps in care for individuals in recovery, with specific strategies of how care team members can help to overcome them. Through a moderated panel discussion, we will hear three unique and varied stories from individuals who identify as being in recovery, with the goal of identifying barriers and facilitators to recovery. Knowledge gaps among healthcare teams, including recognizing the varied paths of individuals in recovery, will be identified. In turn, this will bolster teams’ abilities to understand the unique experiences of individuals in recovery while better facilitating support for them.

Intended audience

Clinical staff, non-clinicians, and members of the community.
