"2026 Clinical Preceptorship Training Symposium"
Under a federal contract with the U.S. Navy, Social Solutions International, Inc. delivers the Clinical Preceptorship Program (CPP), a 2.5-day symposium focused on advancing clinical supervision and strengthening substance use disorder (SUD) treatment skills.
The symposium brings together Clinical Preceptors—experienced clinicians who provide supervision and training at Navy Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Programs (SARPs)—and Navy providers delivering direct patient care. Clinical Preceptors are advanced-degree clinicians with extensive expertise in clinical supervision and SUD treatment and support CPP services across more than 50 Navy installations worldwide.
The symposium has two primary goals: to enhance clinical supervision skills among Clinical Preceptors and Navy supervisors, and to expand clinical knowledge and competencies related to substance use disorder treatment. Training topics include ethics, gambling disorders, group therapy skills, and moral injury. Clinical Preceptors then carry this knowledge back to their respective installations, strengthening care delivery across Navy SARPs.

"DBT Informed Individual Therapy"
This five-session Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) training provides a clear and practical introduction to DBT’s core principles, structure, and clinical application. Participants will build foundational knowledge in behavioral science, acceptance, and dialectical theory, and learn key concepts such as the biosocial model of emotional dysregulation, skills deficits, and core assumptions about clients and therapists.
The program then introduces essential components of comprehensive DBT, including pretreatment, individual therapy, skills groups, team consultation, and the hierarchy of treatment targets. Core therapeutic strategies—validation, problem solving, contingency management, cognitive techniques, and exposure—are taught with a focus on real-world implementation. Advanced sessions highlight dialectical strategies that enhance balance, flexibility, and engagement, along with case management and environmental interventions. The training concludes with best practices for suicide risk assessment, management, and postvention. By completion, participants will have a strong, applied understanding of DBT and its evidence-based approach to complex clinical challenges.
