The WCF project supported SAMHSA’s advancement of state-of-the-art knowledge around substance use and mental health needs of women and families through supporting leaders, workforce development efforts, product development, and expert consultation. The project utilized a multipronged approach to increase the field’s capability for meeting the needs of women, adolescent girls, and families across the nation, which included working with policy makers, providers, and leaders committed to improving women’s services throughout the nation. AHP also provided expert consultation on gender-responsive prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery support services for adolescent girls, pregnant women, and families with children. AHP provided training and technical assistance through the WCF project from 2008 to 2018. AHP provided subject matter expertise and consultation to SAMHSA, NASADAD, states and community groups on effective interventions, treatment and recovery support for women and families.

Accomplishments include:
Creating the Women’s Addiction Services Leadership Institute (WASLI) and administering it six times. WASLI was a competitive, application-based, 6-month leadership program. A total of 112 associates and 56 coaches participated over the six cohorts, with a 100 percent graduation rate. Evaluations from the final WASLI class showed 100 percent of associates felt WASLI had a large impact on their leadership skills; 70 percent had increased workplace responsibility since WASLI, which is particularly notable considering this WASLI class had just graduated when they took the survey.
