The Arizona Association of Drug Court Professionals (AADCP), in partnership with the ASU Center for Applied Behavioral Health Policy, is pleased to announce the Call for Presenters for the 2016 Annual Problem Solving Conference: All Rise for Solutions to be held April 25-27, 2016, at the Prescott Resort in Prescott, Arizona.  Our goal is to provide attendees with workshop opportunities that are skill-building, increase their competencies, and focus on implementing research into practice, while also encompassing the spirit of this year’s conference theme.

The conference will feature 90 minute workshops in the following tracks:
