ECAP Virtual Forum: Amplifying Early Career Voices in Addiction Work

Join the Early Career Addiction Professionals (ECAP) Committee for our inaugural Virtual Forum — a statewide conversation designed to amplify the voices, needs, and innovations of emerging professionals in the addiction field.

This interactive forum brings together counselors, peers, prevention specialists, case managers, educators, and administrators from across Texas to share real experiences about the early stages of professional life in addiction services.

We’ll explore:
✨ How early career professionals are navigating the current landscape of addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery
💡 Strategies for self-care, boundary setting, and avoiding burnout
🤝 Opportunities for connection, mentorship, and collaboration
📢 How ECAP ensures early career voices are represented within TAAP and at the state level

🌈 Who Should Attend

Early career professionals (within your first 10 years in the field), students, interns, and supervisors who are passionate about supporting the next generation of addiction professionals.

🧭 Our Purpose

ECAP exists to empower emerging professionals through mentorship, education, advocacy, and connection—building a vibrant, ethical, and inclusive workforce committed to recovery and community wellness.

By joining this forum, you’re contributing to the future of addiction work in Texas — one voice, one connection, and one conversation at a time.
