New Videos in the Mental Health Topics for Non-Therapist Professionals Series
10/16/2025
The Mental Health Topics for Non-Therapist Professionals series on the LearnAboutTreatment.org website, produced by the ADAI State Opioid Response Training Team, is for providers who work with people with a substance use disorder (SUD) but are not trained as mental health therapists.
The goal is to boost knowledge of mental health issues, especially those common in people with SUD.
Two new episodes have recently been added to the series:
