Virtual Training Needs Assessment Survey

The Maine Behavioral Health Workforce Development Collaborative is partnering with the Maine Office of Behavioral Health to plan training and technical assistance in best practices and effective approaches for providing virtual training. Our goal is to support the workforce to increase comfort and confidence using virtual platforms to conduct education and training sessions that would otherwise be in person.

To help us plan this training and technical assistance, we are conducting this very brief survey to better understand the platforms being used amongst the workforce, and some of the training and technical assistance needs around translating in-person education to effective and engaging virtual offerings.

Thank you for completing this survey, your feedback is extremely important in shaping these training offerings.
