(ABAM) for the "REACH 2.0: Furthering the Call to Build the Addiction Workforce" project. This 5-year grant aims to increase the knowledge of mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) professionals on prevention, treatment, and recovery support for racial and ethnic minority (REM) populations, as well as grow the number of culturally responsive REM addiction specialists in the addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine workforce. Key activities include providing training on cultural responsiveness, funding 20 scholars annually, and establishing a near-peer mentorship program. ABAM is partnering with New York University Grossman School of Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, and Baylor College of Medicine to implement the program.
