Recovery LIVE! Virtual EventWhat Does the Data Say? Effective Use of Recovery Supports in Various Treatment and Healthcare Settings
Thursday, January 24, 2:00–3:00 p.m. EST
BRSS TACS invites you to join national experts in a conversation about using research and program data to communicate the effectiveness of recovery supports.
Presenters will discuss real-life examples and strategies for measuring and using program data to communicate effectiveness and reinforce the value of recovery supports in treatment and healthcare settings. They will share data from several research studies on the effectiveness of recovery supports and recent data from the Association of Recovery Community Organizations.
This event supports critical SAMHSA strategic priorities as described in the SAMHSA FY2019–FY2023 Strategic Plan, including activities related to the Interdepartmental Serious Mental Illness Coordinating Committee (ISMICC) to improve the lives of individuals living with serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbances and their families. For example, included in the 45 recommendations in the ISMICC’s seminal report, issued in December 2017, is a focus on developing standards that include a full spectrum of integrated, complementary services known to be effective and to improve outcomes. These standards include team-based models of care delivery that are interdisciplinary and incorporate peer and family support specialists as a matter of routine practice.
Presenters include Phil Rutherford, Director of Operations, Faces and Voices of Recovery; Annette Crisanti, Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of New Mexico; and Jennifer Chadukiewicz, Recovery Coach Program Manager, Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR).
Join us for this free, interactive virtual event, moderated by BRSS TACS Deputy Director Steven Samra.
