The resulting target audience includes licensed mental health professionals, alcohol and drug counselors, peer support specialists, prevention specialists, case managers, advocates, researchers, educators and other professionals engaged in social services, health care, faith communities, public housing, affordable housing development, criminal justice, public policy, and community planning.
