There is a national shortage of addiction care professionals, and societal needs for this workforce are projected to increase over the next decade.

While many things contribute to this circumstance, one major challenge is the stigma that often surrounds people with substance use disorders and the care available to them.

To reduce stigma about addiction care, the Northwest ATTC at ADAI launched the Workforce Spotlight Initiative, which features positive portrayals of individual workforce members in the Pacific Northwest region via “Spotlight” interviews.
