ARS Accreditation - Navigating the Process: From Getting Ready to Getting Results

The Association of Recovery Schools instituted an Accreditation Process to help guide recovery schools toward awareness of areas of strength and growth opportunities. Leaders in the field who have been through the process will discuss the history and rationale for the accreditation review and the components of the Accreditation Manual that pertain to their areas of expertise as school administrators, instructional leaders, and clinicians. Programming and practice changes made in schools as a result of participating in the accreditation process will be discussed as well as guidance about how to initiate participation in the accreditation process.
