Program Structure

This will be a hybrid structure with asynchronous and virtual/in-person participation. Each block will contain an asynchronous component (short videos) accompanied by a live webinar (1 hour).

Pandemic permitting, there will be 2 in-person sessions allowing participants to learn, exchange ideas, network and plan future work to sustain caring for teens with these issues.

TreatME Learning Objectives:

• Begin to cultivate more champions in the field of adolescent addiction medicine.
• Identify support in the community for adolescents and families with a SUD.
• Create ongoing system of support (financial, educational, emotional) for practices/clinicians who work with youth with SUD.
