Clinician Wellbeing Network
The CWN is a behavioral health support program established to address the health and wellbeing of clinicians to ensure quality care for individuals with substance use disorders. The program seeks to enhance clinician compassion satisfaction, build confidence, connection, and community among providers, create resilience, and ultimately support workforce retention.
The CWN offers peer collaboration, wellness activities, consultation, training, and other incentives for substance use, mental health, and behavioral health providers involved in addressing substance use, integrative care, and co-occurring disorders.
The program will implement, measure and evaluate initiatives that focus on the overall wellbeing of clinicians, including mental, physical, professional, and social health. We believe the caregiver's health is an ethical imperative for the integrity of our professional and educational systems to ensure quality care for those we serve.

Agency Consultation
Lead the Way to Wellness in Your Agency!
Wellness in the workplace is an important factor in employee satisfaction and productivity. It can be difficult to gauge how well your agency is doing when it comes to creating a culture of wellness, but it is possible to get insight into what your employees think. Are you curious about wellness in your agency? Would you like to know what your employees think about the culture of wellness?
We have created an anonymous online Wellness Survey for organizations to quickly and easily measure the overall satisfaction and wellbeing of their workforce. We are available to discuss and interpret the results, offering consultation to the organization's specific needs. We provide insights on employee morale, and how to create a culture of wellness in your agency. We can discuss how to assess employee needs, what kind of initiatives can be implemented, and how to measure the success of these initiatives. With this knowledge, you can ensure that your employees are feeling supported and motivated in their work environment.
