Annual VCBH Conference: Contingency Management for Increasing Abstinence from Substance Use and Promoting Health in Vulnerable Populations
October 6, 2022 - October 7, 2022
After holding our past two conferences fully remote, we are excited to offer a hybrid conference for the first time. We will be returning to our location at the Hilton Burlington Lake Champlain for those that enjoy the experience of connecting in person and love coming to Vermont in the fall. A virtual option is available for those unable to attend in person.
Proof of vaccination is required at registration on site. We are following Vermont State Health Department guidance for our conference and ask that you consider wearing a mask. If any guidance changes prior to our conference, we will make all necessary adjustments.
We are at a pivotal time for contingency management (CM) in the US. This fall, California will become the first state in the country to launch a pilot program of CM with a Medicaid benefit. We will have speakers specifically discussing the California program and key implementation issues, legal implications, and the application and advancement of contingency management in various health areas including substance use disorder, tobacco cessation, and cardiac rehabilitation. Speakers include:
- Ken Silverman, PhD: Keynote
- Barbara Andraka-Christou, PhD, JD
- Sara Becker, PhD
- H. Westley Clark, MD, MPH, JD
- Thomas E. Freese, PhD
- Michael G. McDonnell, PhD
Attend In Person – Options for in-person attendance include:
- attend both Oct 6th and 7th
- attend Oct 6th only
- attend Oct 7th only
Attend Virtually
Attend our entire conference virtually from the comfort of your home or office. Or, maybe you can only attend one day in person and need to attend one day virtually.
