Sponsored Implementation Projects
While the CAAHS serves as a direct sponsor for technical assistance provided across a spectrum of regional workforce development efforts via the Northwest ATTC, and as a cosponsor to technical assistance provided via regional contribution to the Opioid Response Network, we also engage in implementation service projects with external sponsors to address specific needs of addiction workforce groups. Below is a selection of such projects.
