The SBIRT Champion Training of Trainers (TOT) program is an advanced professional development opportunity for individuals who are committed to expanding the use of Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) within their organizations and communities. Designed for professionals who have already completed SBIRT training, this program prepares participants to serve as local champions by strengthening their skills in SBIRT education, implementation, and practice improvement.
Participants will explore adult learning principles, training facilitation techniques, implementation strategies, and approaches to sustaining SBIRT within diverse settings. Through interactive learning and peer collaboration, participants will develop a practical plan for advancing SBIRT and supporting colleagues in adopting evidence-informed practices.
Graduates of the program will join a network of SBIRT Champions who are equipped to promote, train, and support SBIRT implementation across healthcare, behavioral health, public health, and community-based organizations.
Ideal applicants are professionals who have completed SBIRT training, are positioned to influence practice or train others, and are motivated to advance SBIRT within their organization or community. Experience with training, facilitation, and Motivational Interviewing is preferred but not required.
