enCompass: Building Knowledge and Decreasing Stigma
enCompass: A Comprehensive Training on Navigating Addiction is a resource for family members who are trying to navigate the complex world of addiction and help loved ones achieve recovery. The training includes in-depth information about substance use disorders, treatment options, communication strategies, and self-care tips. This training was created by the Addiction Policy Forum.
Preliminary results from the enCompass evaluation indicate that the program significantly increased participants addiction knowledge levels and confidence in their ability to engage someone struggling with a substance use disorder, and that it decreased stigma among participants, including stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination intent.
Addiction Policy Forum is holding a Spring instructor training near Ft. Myers, Florida from May 1 to May 2, 2023. Applications are now being accepted. Please note classes tend to fill up fast and availability may change. Event details and travel instructions will be shared with application confirmation.
