Reviews for Our Previous Virtual CE Workshops

“Thank YOU! I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn with you. The Mountainside Virtual CE workshop I attended was a tremendously informative and well-orchestrated event. Enjoyed indeed! I am one semester away from graduating with my MSW (clinical track).

I signed up for your webinar because I am taking a substance use class as one of my “final four.” I did not have any IPNB knowledge/thorough addiction as brain disease knowledge until today. Without a doubt, thanks to you, I feel better prepared tackle the class work. I hope that there will be more opportunities to learn like this with you and your team…this made me very joyful and hopeful that I am on the right path in my career choice!” -Elizabeth Tominey, University of New England

 

“Thanks for providing a great workshop! [The instructor] was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and very engaging. I will certainly be using the information provided in my practice with clients and supervision of staff members. I am looking forward to the next Virtual CE workshop!” -Gordon Gooding, Gooding Wellness

 

 

 

Support Groups

It is often said that the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but connection. Having a strong support system is paramount to your sobriety and recovery journey. At Mountainside, we offer a wide range of in-person and virtual support groups for individuals in recovery and friends and families with loved ones in recovery. These groups are designed to help you stay connected to like-minded individuals regardless of where you are.
