About the Recovery Summit:
Taking place during National Recovery Month, this webinar series will include sessions related to the nation-wide drug crisis, substance use recovery, and the effects on the state of Michigan and St. Clair County. Webinar sessions will provide an examination of current efforts, local statistics, treatment approaches, the recovery process, impacts on family systems, and prevention strategies. This event will bring together physicians, healthcare workers, human service professionals, law enforcement officers, school personnel, local government officials, first responders, the recovery community and others to continue to address this serious public health issue. There is no cost to participate in webinar sessions and attendees may register for as many as they choose. Supported by funds from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
