BUILDING RECOVERY SUPPORTS
United Way's capacity building trainings that were planned for the Spring of 2020 were delayed due to immediate and urgent needs surrounding COVID-19 as well as due to social distancing and safety concerns. We're thrilled to announce that our previously scheduled trainings will be provided over the summer. We have a virtual training on Building Recovery Supports scheduled for July 29th from 10am-12pm.
The training is in partnership with MAHEC so CEUs are attached to it.
It's free but you must register.
Kurtis Taylor, BSW, Executive Director of Alcohol Drug Council of North Carolina is the trainer for this event. We're excited to have Kurtis working with us again for this training opportunity. Those of you who've had the pleasure of participating in our prior workshops with Kurtis know that he's in long term recovery and he's a fierce and compassionate advocate for services and supports for those with substance use disorder and their families.
