The Certification in Addiction Conference

By Yolanda Gonzalez Malave, Program Assistant & HR Coordinator

Thanks to a collaborative education and business development agreement with the country of Argentina, we were proud to partner with Asociación Civil Modelo Minnesota, Un Regalo de Dios, and the Education Ministry of Uruguay to present as part of the recent International Certification in Addiction conference held in the city of Queretaro, Mexico. Certification was awarded to all participants after a day of international presentations.

Mr. Guillermo Ferrando and Gabriel Avena from Modelo Minnesota presented on the problematic issue of substance abuse and our own, Mr. Cristian Duarte, presented on the variety of substance abuse treatment services that are offered internationally by the WestCare Foundation. Thank you to Mr. Abraham and Adan Alvarez for the warm hospitality and for allowing us to be part of this great event!
