Content | Requirements for annual continuing education on mental health and addictions for state-certified classroom teacher, correctional guards and other professions that routinely interact with persons experiencing mental illness or addiction. When law officers are educated on mental illness and substance abuse, it creates a more compassionate and effective approach in helping persons in the midst of crisis reach stabilization and ultimately recovery. Similar expectations of classroom teachers, corrections officers, and other public servants who frequently come in contact with consumers of services will pay comparable dividends. |
