Professional learning for the work of recovery

Continuing education should do more than fill a clock-hour requirement. These self-paced courses connect core behavioral-health concepts with the day-to-day realities of supporting people in recovery. Each course is designed to build understanding through clear explanations and thoughtful reflection, helping you connect the material to work with individuals, groups, and teams.

The seven courses are approved for distance learning through New York State OASAS Provider #1158. Topics include whole-person care and service coordination, engagement, group therapy and facilitation, affirming support for transgender clients, staff well-being, substance combinations, and yoga as a complementary practice in addiction treatment. See each card for a detailed focus and its approved clock hours.

I’m Jacquelyn Cuyler, an addiction-treatment professional, behavioral-health educator, and course author with more than 15 years of experience in counseling, education, client engagement, and program operations. My credentials include NYS CASAC #34240, IC&RC ADC #ICADC.0806851, and CRSS #0009641; I’m also a SMART Recovery Facilitator and hold diplomas in Mental Health Studies and Educational Psychology. As an OASAS Education & Training Provider (#1158), I develop and lead courses that translate clinical, ethical, and program requirements into clear, practical learning, grounded in my work with behavioral-health teams and community partners.

Expect candor, real-world examples, thoughtful reflection, and humor when the moment calls for it—serious learning doesn’t have to feel stiff or shaming. My goal is for you to finish feeling informed, capable, and complete, with ideas you can use in your work—not just a certificate.
