Supervision of Prevention Professionals Conference 2022

Supervision of Prevention Professionals Conference– October 11 & 12, 2022 $200 for both days.

As an advancing field of professional service, substance abuse prevention is expanding through levels of certification and through concurrent initiatives with behavioral health. As the certification process advances in states, jurisdictions and tribes, there is little to no training specifically for supervising prevention staff.

The basic goals of supervision of the prevention specialist are to assure the delivery of high-quality interventions, create a positive work environment, and develop staff professional and administrative skills.

This conference will explore hiring and on-boarding practices, staff development plans, supervisor roles and characteristics, staff performance evaluation and retention practices.
