This presentation reviews a novel online learning program with the aim to enhance professional helpers’ competency in working with people experiencing concurrent disorders. The curriculum was developed in partnership of people with lived and living experience with concurrent disorders, family members, as well as Indigenous partners. Content development partners also included diverse helping (nurses, social workers, psychologists, researchers, physicians, etc.) and online learning development professionals.

The curriculum is now live and freely accessible to any helping professional, regardless of jurisdiction.
