Recordings

The COE-NF training recordings are the recorded sessions of live training events that occurred during the COE-NF grant period. These trainings provide foundational knowledge in behavioral health and substance use topics.

Effective September 23, 2025, these recorded sessions do not offer continuing education credits or certificates of completion. Facilities wishing to utilize these videos for staff training may use internal processes for documentation.
