Live Webinar – Expert Training – with Dr. Cali Estes

Join clinicians from Riverbend’s Choices program for a special live webinar and q-n-a session with a nationally renowned addiction expert!

May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, and Riverbend Community Mental Health is hosting various events and engagements to raise public awareness and provide opportunities for further learning.

The Opioid and Methamphetamine Training Program is an intensive professional development course designed to give counselors, coaches, and treatment professionals a comprehensive understanding of two of the most destructive drugs in circulation today. Course participants will gather at Riverbend’s Training Room to watch the live training webinar together, and then have time for discussion and q-n-a.

Developed by Dr. Cali Estes and The Addictions Academy, the training provides a clear overview of the history, current trends, and medical applications surrounding opioids and methamphetamines. The training will also go in depth about how methamphetamine differs from other stimulants such as cocaine or Adderall. Students learn not only the science behind the drugs but also the cultural and environmental factors that make meth and opioid use especially dangerous.

The event is FREE, but registration is required. Training is open to community partners, clinicians, and interested members of the public. Funding for the training was provided through the State of New Hampshire’s Opioid Abatement Community Grants Program.
