Live, NAADAC-approved CE training for clinicians, counselors and peer recovery professionals. Learn practical, mindfulness-based tools for helping clients with cravings and addictive behaviors.
Mindshift Recovery teaches professionals the Mindshift Method, built on the research of addiction psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Jud Brewer and used every day in our free app and recovery community. Every session is live on Zoom, interactive and practical, and includes NAADAC CE hours with a certificate of completion.
A live, interactive one-hour CE training for clinicians on the Mindshift Method: how the habit loop drives addictive behavior, why curiosity works where willpower stalls, and how to bring brief awareness practices into the care you already provide.

Thanks! We'll email you when details of the 2027 program are ready.
