January 15, 2026: Surviving the Intersections: Where Morals, Values, and Ethics Collide
NCSAPPB: 4 Hours GSB/ETHICS NBCC: 4 Hours
Presented by James Campbell, LPC, LAC, MAC, AADC
The words morals, values, and ethics are often used interchangeably in our culture, but these words are not synonymous. In fact, they are at times in conflict with one another. This session will distinguish between the three and take an honest look at some of the challenges we face as we seek to be ethical in our practice as clinical professionals. These differences and tensions will also be explored through applying them to case studies among participants.

March 19, 2026: Working with professionals and suicide prevention for all in SUD
NCSAPPB: 4 Hours SS NBCC: 4 Hours
Presented by Lauren Haarlow, LCSW, LCAS, CCS
Attendees will learn what qualifies a person’s employment as a safety sensitive profession and why they are likely to see an increased need for treatment. We will discuss the ASAM criteria for treatment of persons in safety sensitive professions and how this may differ from other people in treatment. Possible treatment challenges among this population and interventions will be explored.
Attendees will learn about the various professional monitoring boards in North Carolina and how these boards support the person new to recovery and advocate to their licensing board if needed. Attendees will be presented with several different vignettes to help demonstrate familiarity and knowledge of working with safety sensitive persons and their various monitoring agencies.
Most counselors are familiar with suicide intervention with a client, but suicide intervention for a peer, co-worker, family member or friend is a different experience all together. Attendees will examine the uncomfortable nature of the topic of suicide as well as myths and facts related to suicide and interventions. Attendees will learn about covert and overt risk factors and warning signs.

April 16, 2026: Understanding synthetic SSD
NCSAPPB: 4 Hours SS NBCC: 4 Hours
Presented by Kelly Little, MSW, LCAS, CCS
As the craze around wellness continues to grow like a weed, drugs like delta-8, THCA, HHC, Kratom, and Kava have infiltrated the market. These drugs are often marketed as healing drugs, offering solutions to a myriad of medical concerns including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and pain. Additionally, they have been marketed as alternatives to using alcohol, as well as alternatives to traditional treatment options and MAT programs. In this lecture, we will explore the impact of legalization and related marketing techniques on cultural perception, as well as use trends. We will discuss relevant research and debunk myths related to the “benefits” of these substances. Finally, we will examine the cyclical relationship between use of these unregulated substances and mental health, as well as the clinical implications of treating substance use disorders when the drug is legal and/or unregulated.

May 21, 2026: ACT interventions in SUD treatment
NCSAPPB: 4 Hours SS/EBT NBCC: 4 Hours
Presented by Rachel Carlson, LCSW, LCAS and Katie Quillen, LCMHC, LCAS, CCS-I
This training is designed to provide clinicians, counselors, and behavioral health professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into treatment for substance use disorders. Participants will learn how ACT’s focus on psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and values-based living can help clients move beyond avoidance and control strategies that often fuel addictive behavior.
ACT emphasizes helping clients build a new relationship with thoughts, emotions, and urges rather than trying to eliminate them. This shift allows individuals in recovery to recognize cravings and difficult emotions without being controlled by them, making space for healthier choices aligned with their values. By focusing on acceptance and committed action, ACT supports clients in creating a life that is not defined by substance use, but by purpose, meaning, and long-term recovery goals.

June 18, 2026: Clinical Supervision that Sparks: Empowering Women in Recovery and the Professionals who Support Them
NCASPPB: 4 Hours SS/CSS
Presented by Dr. Kendra Davis, D. Min, MRC, M. Div, MAC, LCAS, CSOTS, CCJP, CCS, IAADC
This engaging and interactive session explores how clinical supervision can spark growth, resilience, and empowerment for both women in recovery and the professionals who support them. Participants will address real-world challenges such as compassion fatigue, stress, burnout, and codependency, while learning practical strategies for self-care, setting healthy boundaries, and maintaining ethical supervision practices. Attendees will leave with tools to enhance professional development, protect their wellbeing, and foster effective, sustainable supervision.

September 17, 2026: Women, STIs and the Opioid Crises

Presented by Caroline Tisdale, LCSW, LCAS, CCS, CCTP-II, RYT200
This training will focus on how STIs and the opioid crisis are affecting women with a focus on best practices for prevention and treatment. Pregnancy and its implications for prevention and care will be discussed. Participants will explore the barriers that prevent women from getting the help they need. Participants will explore how social determinants of health play a role in these crises for women. Participants will learn strategies they can use to encourage women to seek care and ways to retain them in care. Participants will explore the ethical issues facing the field regarding providing services to women.

October 15, 2026: Neurodivergence and Substance Use Treatment
NCSAPPB: 4 Hours SS NBCC: 4 Hours
Presented by Jena Plummer, LCMHC, LCAS, QS, ADHD-CCSP
This 4-hour training explores the intersection of neurodivergence and substance use, offering clinicians practical tools to provide affirming and effective care. Participants will learn how ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence shape substance use patterns, treatment engagement, and recovery. Through a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed lens, the training highlights both systemic barriers and practical adaptations that make traditional treatment models more accessible.
The session blends education with application, including case examples, role-plays, and group discussions. Clinicians will gain strategies for adapting several therapeutic approaches to better support neurodivergent clients, while also exploring intersectional considerations such as LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC experiences. By the end of the training, participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to integrate neurodivergent-affirming practices into substance use treatment and concrete steps they can bring into their clinical work immediately.

November 19, 2026: The Neuroscience of Spirituality and SUD Treatment
NCSAPPN: 4 Hours GSB, EBT NBCC: 4 Hours
Presented by Wolf Yoxall, MA, CSC, ORDM
This evidence-informed workshop explores how spirituality and contemplative practices engage key neural and physiological systems that underlie self-regulation, resilience, and compassion. Participants will learn how mindfulness, breath, grounding, gratitude, and spiritual practices alter brain networks, particularly those involving the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and vagus nerve, promoting psychological and emotional balance and recovery.
Through interactive discussion and experiential practices, participants will deepen their understanding of the neuroscience of spirituality and leave with practical, secular, or spirituality-inclusive interventions to support both personal and client self-care.
