SMART Training
The Institute for Governmental Service and Research provides numerous resources to encourage the implementation and efficient use of SMART through its training efforts. Training for SMART is delivered through a collaborative effort between the Institute and its partners--- Maryland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration (ADAA) , Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems (bSAS), the Office of Problem Solving Courts (OPSC) and the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services(DJS).
The SMART Training Team is committed to providing public service agencies with the knowledge, skills and materials to integrate SMART into their agency's business practices and helping them effectively measure and improve performance to meet local, state, and other requirements. SMART users can get assistance with both scheduled and customized training and are encouraged to contact their personal trainers who are designated based upon state locations and/or function (implementation, drug courts, or substance abuse programs).
