Meet our Clinical Outreach Director: Marcus Shumate

I view my role as being able to distill complicated ideas into readily graspable concepts and narratives that can help others figure out if our program is a good fit for them or their clients. I also view it as my job to make sure we have healthy relationships with various resources and that I can translate what they do and what we do for different people.

What is the Community-Reinforcement Approach (CRA)?

Community-Reinforcement Approach (CRA) is one of the more interesting clinical models for treating substance use disorders. It may lack the notoriety of other models, but it makes up for that through its effectiveness. CRA is focused on helping clients towards building a life that is more rewarding and meaningful than substance use.

Culture Is Why I Joined Green Hill – by Marcus Shumate

Before I joined, I sensed a chance for growth at Green Hill. Now that I am on the inside, I have experienced a culture that exists all the way from clients to the leadership team, and which is focused on flourishing – personally and professionally. I am excited about all that the culture of Green Hill can bring to me, and those that we serve.
