What you'll learn

Support those in recovery with this CASAC Training 2 - Applications microcredential. The second in a two-microcredential series, this microcredential expands your skillset to include the broad responsibilities of an addiction counselor. Based in the latest research and on-the-ground best practices, you will explore the connections between mental health and addiction, understand diagnostic codes, treatment and discharge planning. You will refine your interpersonal skills with respect to communicating with clients and their families and learn strategies for effective group therapy. You will continue your research-based study, with a focus on recovery and relapse studies. There is a continued emphasis on confidentiality and ethical standards. Note: This microcredential is intended for those who hold at least an associate degree in an approved field as approved by OASAS (related to human services). Successful completion of the two-microcredential series prepares you to apply to the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) for the CASAC-T certification, pass the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) examination for Alcohol and Drug Counselors, and to apply for positions as an Addiction Counselor.
