The Technology Accelerator Project is looking for providers to partner in developing a new Change Readiness Tool. Shea Tanis will be coordinating several provider readiness focus groups, which will lead to the development of a Change Readiness Tool to support the successful adoption of remote support/monitoring and assistive technology solutions for providers statewide.

The project is looking for providers across Pennsylvania to join them for a 90-minute virtual session to discuss promising practices, human and fiscal resources, existing policies, implementation barriers, and agency needs to adapt and employ remote supports/monitoring and assistive technologies.

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) will kick off Recovery Month on Thursday, September 12, at Soldiers and Sailors Grove in the Capitol Complex in Harrisburg with “Share the Hope: A Recovery Story.” The event will include wellness activities and demonstrations, speakers, food trucks, mobile clinic tours, and more.

In addition to the kick-off event, DDAP will host several other Recovery Month events.

September is National Recovery Month, a national observance held every year. The goal of Recovery Month, according to DDAP, is to come together, celebrate individuals in recovery, and offer hope to those who are struggling with a substance use disorder. It reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover from the disease of addiction.

You can send Recovery Month-related questions electronically.
