The Substance Abuse Certificate Program provides practical information and skills to help social workers, mental health providers, clergy, and other human service professionals make real differences in the lives of substance abusers.
"This class has been invaluable to me as a counselor"
~ Past student (more comments)
The Substance Abuse Certificate Program supplements your professional clinical
training. It is a comprehensive series of 6 one-day
courses. We strongly recommend that you take the courses in sequence, however, you may opt to attend individual programs without working towards the certificate.
This certificate program benefits those who are considering entering the substance abuse field. This program does not certify you to counsel alcohol and other drug abuse clients; but the hours earned can be applied to certification through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. (See below.) This program provides pertinent information to help you respond more effectively to people with alcohol and other drug problems.
