The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) is delighted to submit its response to the funding opportunity ATTC TI-24-011. The primary objective of this program is to sustain and improve the MidAmerica ATTC Region, focusing on providing training and technical assistance services to professionals, pre-professionals, organizations, and other stakeholders in the substance use disorder (SUD) field. This encompasses individuals and entities dedicated to serving and supporting children, youth, young adults, families, parents, and other adults within Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska.
UMKC CCAHS will collaborate directly with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and engage with the ATTC Network. The collaborative efforts will center around initiatives aimed at enhancing the implementation and delivery of effective substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery services. SAMHSA, through this program, seeks to elevate the competency level of the SUD workforce and increase the number of individuals trained in substance use disorder science practices.
