Cascadia Health, a large community behavioral health center and FQHC look-alike, developed an innovative workforce development pilot to improve care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and addiction. This pilot is a part of a larger grant-funded program to improve care for people with co-occurring disorders, and enhance the philosophy of harm reduction at our organization. In this dual-certification pilot, mental health staff receive mentorship, on-the-job training, and support for additional content-specific training as they work toward obtaining a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) certification. By investing in staff training, our goal is to build a more sustainable workforce, equip staff with additional professional skills, and to improve our care for people with complex behavioral health needs. This presentation will outline how departments across our organization have collaborated on this initiative to enhance integrated care for the individuals we serve. We will also highlight strategies used to address barriers to this pilot related to capacity of trainees and mentors, and to support staff in achieving their professional development goals, including approaches that emphasize harm reduction practices.
