Lost and Trying to FindThe Foundation (FABHP) has added a new feature in its mission of supporting professionals in the addictions field. The new feature will be a list of professionals we are trying to contact. It is important for us to keep in contact, with news, current and special notices and other information that can help with the advancement of the field.We will also be trying to contact those professionals who have moved and have not forwarded a new mailing address. We would hope that all of you will take a quick look at this list and let you colleagues know that we are trying to contact them. In some cases, we have certificates that have been returned and we would like to get them into the proper hands.
