PCB is pleased to announce that the CIP credential has been updated. Applicants for this certification will no longer need to complete a multiple choice examination, rather a enhanced portfolio process is required. A portfolio approach is highly personalized and allows applicants to document their specific knowledge, skills, abilities and competence as an interventionist. Details can be found in the application. PCB extends a special thank you to our Subject Matter Experts and AIS for their valuable assistance in completing this process.
PCB, in conjunction with PRO-A, conducted a focus group meeting of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to review recovery specialist supervisor competencies. Seven core competencies were established, with each core competency further specifying knowledge, skills, and abilities. The document is intended for organizations or persons to use as an outline for the development of trainings for those individuals who are providing supervision to substance use disorder recovery specialists.
This is a public document that may be used; however, PCB must be credited as a reference in your materials.

This six hour workshop is designed to consider the impact of grief, loss and transitions in our lives. These changes ask us to redefine ourselves in the world. Even when the transition results from something positive what we leave behind leaves its mark on our being. Grief and loss also have the ability to generate strong emotions like anger and regret that over time can make us unwell. Sometimes these strong emotions are triggers that unleash old behaviors. This workshop will consider our personal stories of grief, loss and transition.
