CERTIFICATION

The Northwest Indian Alcohol & Drug Certification Board/Oregon Branch was developed and comprised of members from the Nine Oregon Tribes. The tribal communities appointed representatives to serve on the certification board, to provide input from their own unique perspective and that of their tribal community. Out initial goals were to foster support and wellness, to develop curriculum for the members of this body, and to provide a testing venue that would support native peoples.

Members of our board attend regular quarterly meetings that are held in various communities throughout the state. In those meetings we discuss training and development issues, testing dates and sites, oversight of the member files and credentialing hours and recertification hours. We meet with other credentialing boding to ensure we provide up-to-date information and that the certifications our members hold will stand up to the scrutiny of the state.

As a certification board we are committed to assisting our certified counselor in everyway possible. We are dedicated to educating our members with the very best training that provides evidence based practices with practical approaches that support and enhance our Native and cultural ways and the membership we serve.
