The substance use field continues to evolve quickly. Skill sets and knowledge requirements for staff are continually changing and finding qualified professionals to meet growing needs is essential. CCSA's Behavioural and Technical Competencies for Canada’s Substance Use Workforce describe the behaviours, skill sets and knowledge required for regulated and unregulated professionals who work with people who use substances.
