"I would like to thank the Detroit Recovery Project for bringing this program to the Metro Detroit area. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to complete the Community Health Worker Training Program in 2023. This cohort has been incredibly insightful, providing me with the skills and knowledge to better serve my community through resources and support. I’m forever thankful for this experience, it marked my first step into the world of public health."

This week our Certified Peer Recovery Mentor (CPRM) Academy students had the opportunity to present their final projects.

Each student shared in-depth information on recovery topics and presented an interactive activity to promote the learning process. Some of the topics covered were Cultural Competence, Ethics, and Boundaries, The Dimensions of Wellness, and Multiple Pathways to Recovery. Each presentation also highlighted how they will use their lived experiences to promote wellness and offer support to others who are seeking recovery.

Great job to all of RTI's CPRM Academy students

Last week, Certified Peer Recovery Mentor Academy had a training at Youth Connection. The topic being taught was Screening Brief Intervention and Referral Treatment and Motivational Interviewing. SBIRT is a public health approach to early intervention and treatment for substance use disorders and risky behavior.

Community Health Worker Training Program completed their first project of the cohort. The Windshield Survey Project is a presentation describing the neighborhood or community resources that are available to individuals and families in your service area.

In June, the RTI Project Director spoke at the ISSUP Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece, on "Sociolinguistic Aspects of Stigmatization and Implications for Addiction Treatment."

Her seminar covered research on stigmatizing language regarding substance use and addiction, its impact on treatment outcomes, and its broader public health implications.
