Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Adminis

Description

The purpose of this program is to establish an internationally-based ATTC in Ukraine that primarily builds the capacity and increases the skills and abilities of healthcare providers of the national Ukraine HIV/AIDS program through training, technical assistance, technology transfer and workforce development. A secondary purpose is to build regional capacity to address the treatment of opioid dependence as part of multiple national HIV prevention, care and treatment programs. Training and technical assistance by an internationally-based ATTC in behavioral health service provision includes education, skills development and knowledge transfer on HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment, substance-related and addictive disorders care and treatment in the context of co-occurring substance use and mental disorders and the establishment of peer recovery programs. Workforce development, and training and technology transfer activities in the regions are conducted in a culturally competent and linguistically appropriate manner. The Ukraine International ATTC will work collaboratively with other SAMHSA internationally-based ATTCs and the national ATTC in developing evidence-based technical assistance for information exchange and technology transfer.
