CAC 13 Speaker

Danny Prescott

MSW, MNLM, MA

Danny Prescott works at the intersection of two questions: what happens to addiction counselors inside the systems they work in, and what it would take to build something better. As a researcher, he studies moral distress and moral injury, professional identity formation and loss, and the development of professional capital in the behavioral health workforce.
