Community

The United Way of Broward County Commission on Substance Abuse has provided multiple yearly trainings to the community on a variety of subjects. Below shows an overview of some of our most recent trainings and conferences:

• The Recovery & Resiliency Across the Lifespan and Across Cultures Conference has been successfully planned and implemented for the past 3 years. The goal of the conference is to increase understanding of positive recovery across the developmental lifespan; facilitate dialogue between consumers and professionals specializing in working with specific cultures and/or parts of the lifecycle, and reduce stigma and barriers to recovery.
• The Asset Building Training focused on key components of the asset framework; identify multiple strategies for sharing the asset message in their community; explore how to communicate the asset message in ways that will address the varied concerns of different community sectors and develop a plan for effectively communicating the asset message to selected sectors of their community.
• Cultural Competency Training & Development informs and educates about the different cultural practices and worldviews, and to assist professional in developing their cross-cultural knowledge and skills.
