In response to the historic and current systemic racism and discrimination that profoundly impact the addiction treatment field, NAATP staff and Board members are working on commitments to a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion action plan starting with Self-Examination, Elevating voices of People of Color, and Raising awareness and transforming the field. In order to move forward, we are asking the field to help connect us with experts in this area.
