The Clergy Education and Training Project® (CETP), sponsored by NACoA, provides training and technical assistance to faith leaders, other pastoral ministers, and linkages to supportive community-based organizations and programs. NACoA staff and diverse faith leaders help local stakeholders understand how alcohol and drug dependence impacts individuals, children and families in their congregations and offer tools and training to address their needs. Among the CETP products are online certificate courses and webinars. The most recent webinar for faith leaders was on June 29, 2010. The slides used for the presentations are below.
