The New England ATTC provided ongoing intensive TA in contingency management across the states of Rhode Island and New Hampshire while engaging in multiple national contingency management initiatives. In partnership with Rhode Island’s Department of Behavioral Healthcare Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH) and the NIDA-funded MIMIC2 (Maximizing Implementation of Motivational Incentives Round 2), the New England ATTC provided intensive TA to support the state-wide rollout of contingency management using the Dynamicare digital health product.

New England ATTC Senior Trainer, Haner Hernandez, PhD, served on the development team for SAMHSA’s National Model Standards for Peer Support Certification. This Spanish version of the national model standards was prepared in response to President Biden's 2022 Unity Agenda and outlines model standards for substance use disorder, mental health, and family/youth peer support certification.

The New England ATTC continues to co-host the monthly Recovery Science and Harm Reduction Reading Group meetings. This group brings together a range of individuals (e.g., people with lived experience, service providers, family, friends, academics, students) to discuss recent news or scientific articles and their implications for harm reduction and/or recovery science in the community. Following the reading group meetings, our team develops summary materials that highlight key themes from each meeting, and a summary of the reading materials is posted on the Recovery Science Harm Reduction website.
