2008 Educational Series Workshops
About our Workshops
The NCADA-BA hosts a series of seven workshops focusing on various subjects related to alcohol or other types of drugs. It is our hope that by presenting culturally competent, non-judgmental information, we can prevent the occurrence and progression of the diseases of alcoholism and addiction. All workshops promote and assume an integrated Substance Abuse and Mental Health approach. Featuring knowledgeable and qualified speakers, the workshops are appropriate for professionals working in the field as well as other interested community members. Continuing education credits are available to professionals in the field (see below for details). Click here for a location map. For more information about our workshops, please contact us at 415-296-9900 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
We are proud to be able to offer Continuing Education for Registered Nurses, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, LCSW's, Psychologists (marked with *), Registered Addiction Specialists
