DANA’s Triple C is back for 2023

Applications are open for Mentors and Mentees.

 

DANA will be offering its Connecting, Coaching and Changing Lives Program (Triple C Program) again this year.

This is a series of Clinical Support and  Mentoring Workshops that have been designed specifically for:
•    recently endorsed Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
•    NPs seeking increased support
•    NP Candidates and / or Transitional NPs who already work within the Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Sector
•    nurses enrolled in a Master of Nursing (Nurse Practitioner) program
•    or NPs who work in other clinical settings with people who  have an  AOD use disorder.

The Program offers clinical education, peer support  and  a group mentoring experience.

We are seeking Expressions of Interest from:
•    experienced Drug and Alcohol Nurse Practitioners to work as mentors on the program (and by the way, in line with the ethos of this trailblazing project, mentors will be appropriately remunerated by DANA)
•    potential mentees ( this program is free to mentees).

The first session of the program, a Meet & Greet,  will be held  online on Wednesday March 8th, 2023,  at 6:00pm (AEDT),  5:00pm (AEST) or 8:00pm  (NZ). Workshops will begin in late March 2023.

Please complete the relevant Expression of Interest available to download below.

Applications close February 17th, 2023
Following a highly acclaimed  2022 program, there is already a lot of interest in the 2023 program and places are strictly limited, so you need to be able to commit to it fully if you are offered  a position on the Tripel C Program.
