Supporting the Montgomery County Workforce

Research reveals that organizations with employees who are affected by substance use disorder  -  whether they are struggling themselves or because they are burdened by the struggles of a loved one at home - see a silent drain on productivity, increased unethical behavior, and a spike in absenteeism and healthcare costs.

The Supporting the Montgomery County Workforce program aims to support an organization's HR and EAP initiatives. CARE targets those in leadership positions and provides them with education and resources that both support their colleagues and reverse the fiscal drain on their organization. This brief, yet impactful, presentation is intended to be provided in a casual and accessible setting such as a lunch & learn, management workshop, or other regularly scheduled leadership meeting.

Contact Greg Osisek to book a session for your organization.

Opioid Continuing Education for Pharmacists

The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP) and Center for Addiction and Recovery Education (CARE) at Saint Joseph’s University are pleased offer three FREE continuing education hours related to Substance Use Disorder to pharmacists in Delaware County, PA.  Stemming from an unrestricted grant by the County’s Health Department from the opioid settlement dollars, PCP and CARE enlisted various experts across Pennsylvania to develop six 30-minute videos on topics such as Understanding Opioid Use Disorder, Counseling Techniques, Supporting Patients in Recovery and Stigma and Community Resources.  These modules are ACPE-Approved and would qualify to satisfy the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pain management/opioid/addiction requirements.  

Explore this critical opportunity and contact Andrew M. Peterson, PharmD, PhD, FCPP if you have any questions. 

Phoenix Training: Addiction and Connection to Treatment

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.

Explore our Addiction and Connection to Treatment program and contact Meghan Burk to book a session for your public safety organization.
