Services overview
Agency staff at all levels and across programs deal with client problems related to alcohol and drug abuse. This section presents workshops that address both basic and clinical issues.
Audiences
The courses in this section can be used to train new workers or to update the knowledge and skills of experienced workers. Content can be adapted to training that involves a variety of partners, including:
- public and private social services
- mental health
- probation
- education
- law enforcement
- courts
- other community partners
Training can involve participants from a single organization or, to foster and support collaboration, multiple organizations in a county or region. Programs can serve other purposes, including:
- implementing new practice models
- introducing new delivery systems
- developing a consistent body of knowledge and common values within and across organizations, programs and staff levels
Customization
Courses that follow can be delivered as described or adjusted to meet the needs of training participants and sponsoring agencies. Customization takes into consideration:
- experience levels and program backgrounds of trainees
- training objectives
- performance gaps training should address
- whether or not training is mandated
- agency circumstances and practices related to the topic
Course topics and activities are adjusted to tailor training to the agency and audience.
If your organization has a training need not addressed on this site, The Center can develop a new course or training program.
Transfer of learning
Center training incorporates content and delivery methods that facilitate transfer of learning from the training room to the job. Center staff also can work with agencies on training overviews for supervisors and managers as well as other pre- and post-training activities that promote transfer of learning.
Professional credit
Upon request qualifying workshops can be offered for continuing education credit through the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, California Board of Registered Nursing and California Psychological Association.
