Training Programs

One of the primary objectives of the Center for Addiction and Recovery Education (CARE) at Saint Joseph's University is to provide educational opportunities to create understanding around substance use disorder. Through a partnership with the PA Department of Health and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, we offer a peer-to-peer training program designed to teach first responders and criminal justice professionals how to approach those with substance use disorder with compassion and provide valuable resources to connect those in need to treatment options.

It was refreshing to hear from someone in recovery whose professional experience is in the criminal justice system. It helped put into perspective that addiction can affect anyone."
