A Roadmap for Collaboration
Prevention. Treatment. Recovery
October 16th, 2014
Welcome and thank you for joining us for our annual conference. This years conference
theme is "A Roadmap for Collaboration: Prevention. Treatment. Recovery.” If this year has
taught us anything, it is that there are big changes in the works for the way addiction and mental
health services are being provided here in New Hampshire. With the passage of the New
Hampshire Health Protection Plan, substance use disorder providers are navigating an ever
changing world of service delivery that shifts from grant funding to insurance reimbursement.
Providers are being encouraged to share services, collaborate with mental health and primary
care in their communities, work more closely with their prevention, treatment and recovery
cohorts, and redefine the way they operate.
We know that you have heard time and time again that collaboration is key to
a successful future, but HOW that collaboration works and WHAT it looks like in practice is
something that you have yet to discover. Our hope is to provide you with actionable, best
practice tools and strategies from New Hampshire and across the country. By the end of the
day, you will have a plethora of models and materials needed to take back to your agencies and
practices and begin working towards functional collaboration in your community.
This year’s program is designed to provide you with specialty track information while also
getting you in the same room as your colleagues in similar fields. You will leave today only after
having spent time in rooms and sessions with people from your communities who you may just
be beginning to build relationships with. We hope our collection of speakers begins to shed
some light on the possibilities functional collaboration can bring for the communities you serve.
We strive to provide you with speakers who are nationally recognized as experts in best practices in the field and hope you enjoy the conference.
We would like to offer our thanks to our funder, The NH Charitable Foundation, and to all
of our wonderful exhibitors. With their generous support, we are able to provide you with the
best return on investment of your time, energy and money.
We would also like to acknowledge our current members. We are not only here for you,
but also here because of you. Thank you for being part of the NHAODSPA family.
