C. Organizational Information 1. Entity Type: The legal entity applying for the Nevadaworks Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act for Adult and Dislocated Worker (ADDW) programs outside the One-stop Center is the Board of Regents, NSHE, obo University of Nevada, Reno’s (UNR)/Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT). UNR was established as Nevada’s land grant university in 1874 and granted 501(c)(3) exemption status in August 1964. CASAT, founded in 1993, is a grant-funded Center housed within UNR’s School of Community of Health Sciences.

2. Brief History: CASAT has a long history of providing culturally appropriate, innovative, state-of-the-art research-based training/technology transfer activities, and managing large multi-state, multi-organizational projects. CASAT’s primary mission is to improve substance use disorder (SUD) prevention, treatment, and recovery services by helping states, jurisdictions, tribes, communities, organizations, college students, and the workforce effectively implement/sustain research-based practices. This mission is achieved by using up-to-date technology transfer methods to: work with diverse stakeholders; provide services in rural/remote/frontier and urban areas; sponsor, coordinate, and teach in-person and online university-based courses; offer continuing education training through in-person and online instructor-led workshops, and self-paced online learning modules; award CEUs/CMEs; conduct highly tailored and culturally appropriate training/TA, followed by customized consultation; create brief curriculum infusion packages (CIPs) for inclusion in pre-service academic healthcare programs; develop/disseminate web-based/electronic and hardcopy products/resources; and hold local, regional, and national conferences.

CASAT’s mission compliments Nevadaworks’ mission in striving to provide a skilled, productive workforce to meet employment needs of Northern Nevadans. Since 1993, CASAT has developed academic curricula in SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery for undergraduate and graduate students, and currently offers a Peer Support Specialist Certificate (PSS), Minor/Certificate in Addiction Treatment Services (ATS) and Graduate Emphasis in SUD Counseling. In 2001, CASAT expanded its academic program to include online courses in SUD treatment/recovery services, Special Topics courses in behavioral health, and added a state-funded online gambling course in 2006. More importantly, students anywhere can earn a minor in addiction treatment services, take undergraduate or graduate courses on SUD treatment, prevention, and/or recovery support services, or enroll in problem gambling courses to get initial training for certification as a problem gambling counselor. In addition, practicums are offered in the minor and required for the graduate emphasis. From 1995-2019, 1,516 students earned an ATS Minor, 335 earned an Undergraduate Certificate, and 99 completed the Graduate Emphasis. Currently, there are roughly 950 students enrolled in 24 undergraduate and 7 graduate online and in-person courses. Most graduates are employed in behavioral health and criminal justice settings, demonstrating program portability and utility.

CASAT manages large national, multi-state, and multi-organizational projects, with an annual budget of approximately $5 million in federal and state grants/contracts. CASAT has extensive experience working in urban and rural/frontier areas, and its 40 member staff appropriately reflect the stakeholders/customers of Nevada in regards to age, sexual orientation, gender, disability, cultural, language, recovery status, and racial/ethnic characteristics. With almost 27 years of experience, CASAT has the infrastructure, capacity, and expertise to successfully implement the proposed Career Healthcare Connections (CHC) Program activities. Key personnel who will provide management for CHC


are: Terra Hamblin (PI/Senior Project Manager); Kim Prokosch (Co-I/Project Coordinator); Jordan Baez (Peer Coordinator); Julius Real (Fiscal Coordinator); Debbie Leone (Academic Coordinator). The organizational chart and key personnel job descriptions can be found in the Exhibits. 3. Recording: Each of CASAT’s grant/contract accounts has its own budget and reporting requirements. When a funding award notification is received, UNR’s Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) assigns a unique account number for that specific grant/contract. CASAT’s Executive Director designates the individuals authorized to access, monitor, and manage the account through UNR’s accounting system. In addition to UNR’s accounting system, CASAT has an internal accounting system. Each account is balanced monthly between CASAT’s internal system and UNR’s accounting system. Each month, a CASAT staff member creates a preliminary invoice and submits it to UNR’s OSP. These bookkeeping functions provide a check and balance to ensure only CHC Program-related costs are charged to Nevadaworks. 4. Reporting: UNR maintains accounting systems to allow recording, identifying, segregating, summarizing, and reporting all expenditures by award. UNR’s Accounting Services office and OSP will only approve expenditures consistent with the budget categories specified in the CHC Contract and not in violation of UNR or state/federal regulations. CHC Program Contract staff who are UNR employees will be paid monthly. If training consultants are used, they will be paid upon presentation of their invoices to the Accounting Services office. All other Contract-related expenses (e.g., travel, equipment, supplies, operating) will be paid by UNR’s Accounting Office. 5. Expenditure Detail Procedure: UNR’s OSP will submit monthly invoices to Nevadaworks for payment of CHC expenditures after the completion of each month’s work. CASAT/UNR will maintain its records in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), reflecting all revenues and expenditures. CASAT and OSP will keep copies of all bills, invoices, statements, and receipts. They will also maintain copies of Effort Reporting System statements and leave requests for staff paid by this project. Receipts will include vendor name and address, purchase date, item description, amount of order and person placing the order. Copies will be made of statements, records, reports, plans, information, documents, maps or other data used, produced, or developed for the CHC Program. Cumulative accrued expenditure financial reports and closeout financial reports will be maintained on UNR's Campus Workday, a financial and human resources management software system and Student Information Systems (SIS) data warehouse. These documents will be made available to Nevadaworks at any time for auditing and/or monitoring review. All expenditures related to the CHC Program will remain on file for six years for auditing review. 6. Compliance with Fiscal Requirements: UNR’s OSP manages over $175 million in funding from external sponsors. All awards are managed in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and general policies of the funding entities. UNR follows applicable cost accounting principles and is compliant 2CFR Part 220, 2CFR Part 215 and A-133, which mandate separate accounting for each sponsored project. UNR has policies and procedures in place to support any expenditure associated with each sponsored project and will be capable of complying with federal and state requirements as stipulated in 20 CFR 683 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Additional information, including 2010 A-133 audit report and annual reports, can be found at http://www.unr.edu/sponsored-projects/reports. CASAT will comply with the provisions of the “Jobs for Veterans Act”, Public law 107-288 Section 2(2) of Title 38 USC 4215(a) that created a priority of services for veterans and spouses who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements for participation in WIOA programs.


7. Additional Organizational Information: CASAT has demonstrated a positive track record for producing highly skilled professionals to meet the behavioral health needs in Northern Nevada by successfully executing past Nevadaworks contracts over a nine-year period (2009-2018) that have served 148 students, with a graduation rate of 92%.

D. Program Narrative The narrative below describes the purpose, workforce overview, target population recruitment and assessment, training strategies, outcomes and follow-up services, and project timeline for the ADDW CHC Program.

1. Target Population Recruitment and Assessment: Between 2018 and 2028, growth rates for behavioral health occupations (e.g., substance abuse and mental health prevention, treatment, case management, and recovery support) are projected to increase nationally at a higher rate than the average for all other occupations (e.g., Social and Human Service Assistants-11%; Substance Abuse and Behavioral Disorders Counselors-22%). In 2022, 133,983 Nevadans (6,919 are rural/frontier) are projected to be employed in the healthcare and social services sector, an increase of 13,996 jobs (11.7%) from 2017. These credible labor market data suggest an increasing need to produce well-trained behavioral health professionals to: respond to greater demands due to an aging workforce; increased need for substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health treatment services; offer integrated care (physical and behavioral health) in medical clinics; and provide education in treating opioid use disorders (OUD). Individuals participating in the CHC Program will have numerous opportunities to obtain employment and advance their careers.

The purpose of the CHC Program is to build and strengthen Nevada’s behavioral health workforce by: providing multiple levels of career entry tracks; offering recruitment and screening activities as part of developing a career roadmap; providing stackable credits so that courses are linked and help move students towards certificate or degree programs; offering support services to prevent program dropouts; and offering academic courses/trainings on important topical areas (e.g., ethics, co-occurring disorders, opioid use disorders). This will be achieved by helping students move efficiently and quickly through the education, certification, licensing, and training/practicum processes necessary to enter Nevada’s behavioral health workforce. Providing tuition assistance, sponsoring practicums, and academic/career counseling will reduce educational barriers and increase career road maps, career on-ramps, and student interest in the behavioral health field and marketability to employers by providing desirable skills necessary for the expanding behavioral health workforce. Goals and Objectives. ADDW CHC goals/objectives describe proposed services. Overall Goal. Assist eligible Nevada adult/dislocated workers obtain employment in the behavioral health workforce as certified/licensed counselors or peer support specialists, thereby meeting workforce needs, enhancing college-to-career connections, and facilitating the advancement of a skilled and productive behavioral health workforce.

Overview of the Workforce. There are several factors contributing to Nevada’s struggle to recruit/retain a qualified and competent behavioral health workforce. First is the increased demand for services. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH), in 2017 there were 412 overdose deaths involving opioids in Nevada. The majority of those deaths were related to prescription drugs. In 2016, Nevada ranked 13th in opioid painkiller prescribing rates at 80.7 per 100 residents, compared to the national average of 66.5 (CDC, 2017a). In 2016, Nevada’s prescription drug use still ranked among the highest (16th) in the nation. Since 2012, heroin-involved deaths more than doubled and synthetic opioid other than methadone were involved in 66 overdose deaths in 2017 and according to the CDC, in 2016 17.6% of adults report excessive drinking. This epidemic has left Nevada’s behavioral health workforce in need of qualified workers, especially those with opioid-specific SUD training. Next is a decrease in the number of licensed/certified alcohol and drug counselors. In 2018, there were 666 licensed alcohol, drug, and gambling counselors in Nevada, with 72 working in rural and frontier counties. This represents a roughly 50% statewide decrease in the total number of counselors providing services (per capita number of 21.8 in urban counties and 25.0 in rural and frontier counties per 100,000 population). In addition, in 2018, 67.3% of Nevada’s population, or an estimated 2,026,181 Nevadans in 11 of 17 Nevada counties, live in a federally designated primary care Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) of which 234,076 (81.4% of the population) live in rural/frontier area. By the end of the calendar year, an estimated 2.8 million Nevadans will reside in a HPSA. The severity of the primary and mental healthcare shortage is a major barrier to providing effective SUD treatment in Nevada, especially for OUDs. The current behavioral health workforce is unprepared to meet these demands due to an aging workforce and difficulty recruiting/retaining staff. This ‘anemic pipeline’ of well-trained workers to address the growing needs of individuals with behavioral health disorders is a concern.


Another issue impacting the behavioral health workforce is a lack of career ladders, on-ramps, and roadmaps for entering or advancing in the workforce. For example, having no clear direction on how college degree or certificate programs lead to a career may significantly contribute to high college dropout rates. Nevada currently has two tracks to becoming an alcohol and drug counselor: earning a Bachelor’s degree to be certified or Master’s degree to obtain licensure. These certification/licensure standards are some of the most stringent in the US. In some states, entry into the behavioral health field has expanded by creating counselor assistant, behavioral health technician, or peer support specialist (PSS) positions to help individuals obtain entry-level positions and get additional education for career advancement. This approach expands the workforce, which in turn increases the availability of behavioral health services. In 2012, CASAT created a PSS Certificate program to prepare individuals to work with clients in behavioral health settings. PSS Certification requirements include training/education, testing, ethical codes, and scope of practice that are aligned with the Nevada Certification Board requirements. Behavioral health providers and other human service entities in Nevada are hiring PSSs and depend on programs like CASAT for comprehensive training. Since 2012, 45 students have earned the PSS Certificate through CASAT’s program and eight are on track to complete in May 2020. Another factor related to preparing/expanding the workforce is access to affordable training. Many students wanting to enter the behavioral health workforce are unable to due to financial reasons, resulting in a disrupted pipeline that infuses new workers into the field. Currently, the overall cost of living index is 110 in Reno (103 in Nevada), which is 7% higher than the Nevada average and 10% higher than the U.S. average (areavibes, C2ER, 2019). Without new workers to fill the gaps, providers are left to operate with limited staff. If providers continue to experience difficulty hiring workers the quality and already scarce behavioral health resources throughout the State will be effected. According to UNR’s President Marc Johnson, 60% of new jobs will require some form of certificate or degree, but only about 26% of Nevadans between the ages of 25 and 34 have such certificates and degrees. Thus, economic stressors, increasing demands for a well-trained workforce, and lack of career entry tracks and roadmaps are critical issues requiring a coordinated and well-executed response, which is the basis of this proposal. Recruitment. CASAT offers several training programs, including the PSS Certificate, Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Intern training program, ATS Minor/ Practicum Certificate, and Graduate Emphasis program. These programs are designed for individuals seeking employment as a PSS, Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Intern (CADC-I); Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC); or Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC), and target those who: 1) have completed or are within one year of completing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree; 2) are not certified or licensed as a mental health or social service-related practitioner; 3) have ‘lived experience’ as a person with an SUD or a mental health problem, and are interested in being a PSS; and/or 4) are interested in changing careers and entering the behavioral health field. The PSS Certificate includes stackable credits that allow students to move to the ATS Certificate or Graduate Emphasis programs. The ATS Certificate Program is designed for people currently working towards or who have completed a Bachelor’s degree and the Graduate Emphasis is for those in the process of earning or who have completed a Master’s degree. The CADC-I training program provides internship eligible individuals with information and guidance necessary to complete the application process resulting in certified intern status by the Nevada Board of Examiners (BOE) for Alcohol, Drug, and Gambling Counselors and employment.


CHC will target unemployed, underemployed, and economically disadvantaged individuals interested in pursuing behavioral health careers. Targeted outreach efforts will be conducted and tailored for Veterans and their spouses and individuals who are willing to commute or already residing in rural counties, as rural treatment providers have more difficulty than urban providers attracting individuals. CHC participants will be recruited from:

• UNR: student programs (e.g., Cultural Diversity Center, Veteran Center, Student Services); academic programs (Counseling & Educational Psychology, Marriage & Family Therapy, Criminal Justice, Community Health Sciences, Psychology, Social Work); and School of Community Health Sciences Advisement Center

• Behavioral Health, OTPs, and primary care clinics throughout Northern Nevada • Community Recovery Organizations: UNR’s N-RAP Student Recovery Program; Foundations for Recovery

The CHC Project Manager will conduct screening interviews with individuals interested in the program to assess participants’ vocational interests, skills, and training needs. Screening will help identify vocational and educational barriers and deficiencies. Finally, the screening process will confirm candidates meet program eligibility requirements as defined by the WIOA eligibility for adult/dislocated workers. To be eligible for inclusion in the CHC program, candidates must meet all of the state required criteria: 1) 18 years of age or older; 2) eligible to work in the US; and 3) compliant with Selective Service requirements. In addition, ADDW candidates must meet a minimum of one of the following additional requirements: 1) experiencing barriers to employment or low/no income; 2) taking fewer classes due to higher tuition fees; 3) employment status (working less than 20 hours/week or unemployed); 4) returning to college for additional training for a career change or to increase their credentialing status for job retention; 5) returning Veteran; 6) shared ‘lived experience’ (i.e., in recovery from mental health or OUD/SUD) and/or 7) willing to work in rural Northern Nevada communities. Lastly, to qualify specifically for DW status, the individual must meet one of eight WIOA pre-determined categories for DW WIOA eligibility and the qualifying dislocation date must be within 60 months of the enrollment date. The Nevadaworks Dislocated Worker Qualifying Dislocation Date Documentation Guidance NWG 02-19 will be utilized to assist in documenting DW eligibility. Priority will be given to Veterans and their eligible spouses and individuals with barriers to gaining employment with low or no income. Those willing to work in rural Nevada substance abuse/mental health agencies will be given second priority to assist in meeting the needs of frontier/rural workforce shortages. Once eligibility is determined, CHC participants will be provided:

• Individual Employment Plan (IEP) to include: career advisement and placement, identification of training opportunities to assist in retention and development of skills, development of personal, career-related goals, required supportive services, and a clear employment objective

• UNR application process assistance for acceptance into CASAT’s training program • Payment of tuition/training fees and other training related supportive services (books/supplies) as identified • One-on-one meetings with the Academic Coordinator to support academic success • Student practicum agreement and placement into an unsubsidized practicum or employment site • Monthly meetings with the Project Coordinator and/or PSS Coordinator • General support services (e.g., child care, transportation, UNR parking pass) if unavailable through other local

assistance programs • Referral to local services (e.g., mental, medical, dental, psychological, financial)


• Follow-up services up to 12-months after the end of last service Lastly, the CHC staff will build and maintain a relationship with the One-Stop Delivery Center Partners to avoid the duplication of effort, ensure the leveraging of resources to benefit the participant because an individual is defined as one individual receiving WIOA funded services.

2. Training Strategy: The CHC Program was designed using evidence-based practices found in other career pathway programs and outcome studies on education, career, and economic factors. Studies on economic return of pre-bachelor’s education found that a two semester occupational certificate significantly improved earnings advantage compared to having some college courses but no degree.5-8 Consistent with these data, the 18-21 credit Undergraduate Certificate (minor/minor with practicum) will provide participants with a useful occupational credential. Results from another study9 showed adults improved their economic prospects and avoided falling behind when they received at least some post-secondary education, preferably a degree. In line with this research, CHC will build stackable tracks that allow participants to earn a certificate on their way to a Bachelor’s degree. CHC’s expansion of career entry tracks by creating the PSS Certificate is based on several studies citing the value employers place on entry-level positions. According to Proscio,10 many employers view entry-level employees as a ‘durable asset’, meaning investments are made to prepare and retain these employees for higher-level positions rather than accepting high turnover rates. CHC will work with behavioral health providers to introduce this concept and provide tools to retain and promote their workers. Lastly, CHC will use practicums to provide specific vocational skills that will lead to proficiency in performing tasks in order to gain or retain employment in the behavioral health field.

An IEP will be developed for each CHC participant after eligibility is determined and enrollment into the State’s management information system (MIS). Screening results serve as the foundation for the IEP and help identify goals pertaining to training activities, job search, and retention skills. If necessary, an IEP may include a plan for providing: mental health services; drug and alcohol rehabilitation; medical care; financial counseling; referrals to housing services; legal aid; and other necessary employment-focused social services. This plan will be customized to fit each participant’s educational needs and career goals, including a designated path from training to employment. IEPs will be reviewed quarterly with CHC participants by the Project Coordinator or Senior Project Manager to ensure each participant is on track and make changes as necessary. Most importantly, each IEP will include a clear and definitive employment objective focused on health care and medical services as listed in the Governor’s Economic Development Plan’s industry sector plan. Finally, IEPs will serve as a career roadmap for each participant, providing the connection between training, career development, and employment.

Training services provided by CHC will be taken from the official Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). The ETPL includes CASAT’s five certificate training programs. The Undergraduate Certificate and Graduate Emphasis curricula will include an overview of evidence-based practices related to providing behavioral health screening, assessment, intervention, treatment, and recovery services to families, organizations, and communities. The PSS Certificate will focus on an overview of evidence-based practices related to behavioral health disorders, navigating systems of care, and patient advocacy. Although the required courses for the Undergraduate Certificate, Graduate Emphasis, and PSS Certificate are clearly defined, participants may be able to take other relevant courses that meet their academic/career goals. This will be determined/approved by the Project Director and Academic Coordinator to ensure certification and


licensing requirements are met. All courses are offered in-person and a majority are also available online, which increases participants’ accessibility to courses. UNR’s 365 Learning Department manages these online courses and CASAT’s professors and instructors provide the instruction. Courses run for 12-15 weeks during Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters and three weeks for Wintermester. Once a participant in the Undergraduate Certificate program has completed five of the six required courses, he/she will be screened and placed into a practicum. Participants in the Graduate Emphasis or PSS program will be screened and placed into a practicum after completing three courses. CASAT’s Undergraduate Certificate and Graduate Emphasis programs have a positive track record of preparing individuals to be certified or licensed as drug and alcohol counselors. Nevada BOE for Alcohol, Drug, and Gambling Counselors data show that individuals who have completed CASAT’s Undergraduate Certificate or Graduate Emphasis programs pass the certification/licensing exams with more frequency than those not completing these academic programs. In addition to written and oral exams, certification/licensure requirements include meeting specific education and experiential standards. Barriers can occur at any point along the way, which is why CHC staff will conduct an initial screening process to determine the most efficacious route to certification/licensure for each participant and included in the IEP.

Unlike other certified or licensed professionals, Nevada BOE requires individuals to complete educational and experiential requirements before taking the exams. Based on demonstrated success by individuals completing CASAT’s Undergraduate Certificate and Graduate Emphasis programs, the State of Nevada developed and implemented an experience waiver. Nevada Revised Statute 641C.205 states that certification/licensure as an alcohol and drug counselor requires applicants to document 4,000 hours of experience working in addiction treatment services along with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. Currently, Nevada Statutes allow individuals to waive 2,500 hours of the required 4,000 hours of employment experience needed to become a CADC or LADC. This waiver goes into effect by taking 18 undergraduate credits or 12 graduate credits in addiction treatment courses from an accredited university. By completing CASAT’s Undergraduate Certificate or Graduate Emphasis programs in ATS, CHC participants would be granted an experience waiver and only need an additional 1,500 hours of SUD treatment experience to be qualified to take the certification/licensing exams.

The practicum is the last course in the proposed CHC program’s training sequence for PSS, ATS with Practicum, and Advanced Certificate. This course will offer participants the opportunity to accrue real job experience. For participants interested in certification or licensure, the practicum will facilitate accumulation of the additional 1,500 contact hours required to become a certified/licensed alcohol and drug counselor. The CHC Senior Project Manager, Project Coordinator, and PSS Coordinator will develop practicum site agreements and practicum requirements. These agreements will include providing clinical supervision to CHC participants as part the experience. The practicum course serves as an excellent venue for perspective employers to “try-out” CHC participants. In addition to practicums, internship eligible participants seeking certification/licensure will have an opportunity to apply as an official CADC-I with the Nevada BOE by completing and mailing the CADC-I application, providing appropriate documentation, and paying applicable fees. This will ensure CHC participants’ practicum experience is recognized by Nevada BOE and hours counted towards the required contact total. Job placement assistance is considered essential and will be provided to all CHC participants throughout the entirety of the program. CHC staff will work with behavioral health treatment providers, OTPs, and medical clinics in Reno, Sparks, and rural Northern Nevada (e.g., Lyon County, Carson City, Churchill County, Douglas


County, and Elko) to identify and fill vacant intern counselor or PSS positions with CHC participants. CASAT has a positive working relationship with the Nevada Certification Board (NCB) and the Nevada BOE. The CHC staff will meet with NCB and Nevada BOE staff bi-monthly to identify upcoming job opportunities, which will aid in placement activities. For CHC eligible participants, placement services will be available with a goal of receiving training while increasing skills and knowledge to adequately perform the job, with an expectation the trainee will gain/retain employment at the training site. Participants who are not hired by their practicum site may receive additional training, career planning, and counseling.

3. Outcomes and Follow-up Services: The CHC Program will meet program year 2019-2020 negotiated performance measures: 58% (adult) and 65% (dislocated) credential attainment rate; 75% (adult) and 85r% (dislocated) of participants will be employed the 2nd quarter after exit; 62% (adult) and 66% (dislocated) of participants will be employed the 4th quarter after exit; Median earning of $5,100 (adult) and $6,900 (dislocated) in the 2nd quarter after exit; and students pass UNR courses with a C or better, pass certification/licensing exams, or other as identified by the funding agency as appropriate.

Follow-up services will be available for 12 months after the actual end date of the last service provided. Three contacts will be made in the first 60 days after employment plus one contact during the next 30 days by the Project Coordinator. Follow-up services will focus on offering participant support to maintain their employment., including: career counseling and planning; meeting with employers; assisting with work-related problems, peer support groups, additional training or education; and referral to community support services (e.g., housing assistance, food banks, day care centers, family counseling, credit counseling). During the first follow-up service session, CHC Project Coordinator and participants will create a new post-employment IEP focused on activities to support employment and plan for future career development. Specific follow-up services will be identified, agreed on, and recorded in the IEP. The post-employment IEP will be reviewed at every follow-up contact and modified if necessary. No direct services will be expended on follow-up services for adult or dislocated workers after exiting the program. 4.

Virginia St., Mail Stop 279 University of Nevada, Reno Reno, Nevada 89557-0279 Dear Ms. Hamblin, As Executive Director of Rural Nevada Counseling (RNC), I am pleased to write this letter in support of the University of Nevada, Reno's Center for the Application of Substance Abuse Technologies (CASAT), in its application for the Nevadaworks Adult & Dislocated Worker Program contract. RNC is a non-profit outpatient substance use treatment program that has been operating in rural communities of northern Nevada since 1971. RNC is dedicated to moving individuals through the complete continuum of care, from pre-contemplation to self-sustaining recovery. We particularly value the role of the Peer Support Specialist in treatment and recovery. We are delighted that CASAT and the Nevadaworks Career Healthcare Connections program similarly value the important role that Peers play in recovery and are invested in the future of Peer Support. CASAT’s Peer Support Specialist Certificate program is known for its excellence, exemplified by numerous RNC staff who are graduates of CASAT’s Peer Support Specialist and Addiction Treatment Services certificates. The experience and education they received through CASAT’s academic programs allowed them to enter the behavioral health workforce with the knowledge and skills of professionals. Sincerely,

Tenea Smith, Executive Director, Rural Nevada Counseling
