UVU Conference on
Addiction
March 3, 2023 · Hybrid Event
As a writer, producer, and actor, Tom Arnold has established himself to both television and film audiences worldwide, having won such awards as the Peabody Award and a Golden Globe Award. Additionally, he helped put Fox Sports Network on the map with his hosting duties on “Best Damn Sports Show Period.” Arnold currently hosts CMT’s “My Big Redneck Wedding” and “My Big Redneck Vacation” which premiered at the highest ratings in CMT history.
Arnold cornered the market on playing the resident comic relief in films like “Nine Months” with Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, and Robin Williams, “True Lies” with Arnold Schwarzenegger, “Hero” with Dustin Hoffman, and “Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery” with Mike Myers. Arnold will next be seen in his 72nd film, Stephen Gyllenhaal’s quirky political comedy “Grassroots”, Tyler Perry’s “Madea’s Witness Protection” and “Hit And Run” with Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell and Bradley Cooper.
Arnold has successfully broken out of the comedic stereotype and is becoming a fixture at film festivals by landing more mature and dramatic roles. He received critical praise for his role in “Gardens Of The Night,” opposite John Malkovich, “The Great Buck Howard” starring John Malkovich and Tom Hanks, “Good Dick” opposite Jason Ritter, and “The Year Of Getting To Know Us” opposite Sharon Stone, Jimmy Fallon and Lucy Liu. In 2005, he received critical notice for his role in Don Roos’ “Happy Endings” for Lions Gate Films. He was also seen in “Pride” opposite Terrance Howard, and “Animal Factory,” directed by Steve Buscemi. Other film credits include “Soul Plane,” “Cradle To The Grave,” “Exit Wounds” and “The Kid & I.”

Attendees of the 2023 UVU Conference on Addiction have the opportunity to earn continuing education units (CEUs) to be used towards licensure and certifications. To earn CEUs and receive credit for attendance, participants must take the CEU survey associated with each session. If a participant does not complete the CEU survey related to the session, they will not receive credit for attendance.
NASW continuing education units can be earned until March 17th at 5pm when the virtual portal closes (only up to 13 units can be awarded for recorded sessions - home study category credits), up to 5 units can be earned for same day attendance - live category credits). In order to earn live credits, the CEU survey must be completed on the day of the conference.
DOPL continuing education credit can be earned (with required end of session CEU survey only) until March 17th at 5pm when the conference virtual portal closes. Also accepted are 1 suicide prevention credit, 2 ethics credits (noted in program) and up to 15 Addiction credits.
The conference will remain open until March 17th at 5p.m. Participants who have completed the CEU survey will receive their earned CEUs via
the email address used during registration (check spam/ junk mail). Distribution of
ALL CEUs will occur within 2 weeks AFTER the conference has closed (March 17th).
If a participant has not received their CEU certificate via email by March 31st ,
