We are excited to announce that the CASRA Learning Library is now operational!
The Learning Library and its contents are free to CASRA member organizations and their staff. The Library is located in the Member Portal on the CASRA website here. More detailed instructions on how to access and use the Library can also be found on the CASRA website when logged on the Portal.
Our hope is that the Library's offerings will provide learning opportunities that will serve as part of CASRA agencies' onboarding processes for new staff, as well as be a resource of Recovery oriented values and practices for all staff.
Access to the Learniing Library is currently limited to CASRA member agencies and their staff. We hope to expand availability in the future.
