The U.S. faces critical behavioral health workforce shortages, with HRSA projecting a 49% increase in demand for care alongside an 11% decrease in available clinical professionals. These shortages are particularly pronounced in the SUD workforce regarding access to essential treatments. Inevitability, workforce challenges impact patients, who may encounter restricted access in underserved areas and compromised care quality.

Shatterproof Treatment Atlas has collected data on SUD treatment delivery from over 4,500 facilities. This data offers insights into staff composition, clinical focus, and training, aiding efforts to strengthen the SUD workforce and ensure positive patient outcomes.

This workshop also analyzes SUD workforce trends in Pennsylvania and other states. Participants will engage in discussions on workforce challenges, existing models, and innovative solutions to support staff in delivering high-quality SUD care.

Presenter:
Lisa Kugler, PsyD, Senior Vice President, Shatterproof Treatment Atlas

Objectives: Following this course, the learner will:

  • Explore staffing trends across Pennsylvania SUD treatment sites to understand areas of strength and opportunities for improvement;
  • Analyze and compare Pennsylvania SUD treatment staffing against other states to understand progress at the local and multi-state levels; and
  • Evaluate potential solutions to support and enhance SUD treatment staffing in Pennsylvania based on available data and their own experiences in the field.

Certificates of attendance are available to RCPA members who attend this webinar; anyone interested in a certificate should contact Cathy Barrick.
