A 1.5-Hour Training with Heather Smith, LCMHC, MLADC, R-DMT
Virtual via Zoom | 9:00am-10:30am
Presentation: This 1.5-hour workshop will provide an overview of the Alc 300 rules adopted by the NH Board of Licensing for Alcohol & Other Drug Use Professionals in January 2023 as well as the Alc 400 rules adopted July 2018. The most current/updated versions of these will be covered. The 300 rules describe the requirements for initial certification as a certified recovery support worker and the 400 rules describe the recertification and supervision requirements. We will examine the certification requirements for the CRSW credential as well as the scope of service and requirements described in State statute (RSA 330:C).
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
- Access the administrative rules online and reference the sections pertaining to CRSW certification;
- Describe the role of the International Credentialing & Reciprocity Consortium for New Hampshire substance use credentialing; and
- Answer questions about credentialing for both the people they supervise toward the credential or in their own pursuit of the credential.
