Background of the study

Connections Counseling, PLLC is now the sponsor of research formerly sponsored by Best Practice Trainers, Inc (BPTI).

A free online OASAS and NYSED-approved 2.5 CE CBT webinar (Essential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders) in English and Spanish, is being offered to NYS clinicians throughout 2024 for
participating in the research. Your answers may affect how we teach new clinicians.
