Why Workforce?

The Annapolis Coalition is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the recruitment, retention, training and performance of the prevention and treatment workforce in the mental health and addictions sectors of the behavioral health field.

As part of this effort, we seek to strengthen the workforce role of persons in recovery and family members in caring for themselves and each other, as well as improving the capacity of all health and human services personnel to respond to the behavioral health needs of the individuals they serve. In this video, Senior Science & Policy Advisor Michael Hoge, Ph.D., provides an overview on the issues involving workforce development.
