Substance use has been a topic of increased interest recently from national news stories to chats amongst neighbors, there has been an ongoing discourse around the impact that substance use has on our lives. Whether we are considering the impact of legalized marijuana, reassessing the ways in which we punish drug offenders, or increasing access to first-aid measures to curb opioid overdoses, it is rare to find a week go by without this topic coming up.

We felt it was a good time to have a discussion about these topics, and how they impact the Dorchester community. From trauma to recovery, let's talk about how drugs are impacting us. Please join us for a forum to discuss healing from substance abuse as a community.

Discussion will be led by members of Codman Square Health Center’s Substance User Health Team with a panel of speakers from the community. Light refreshments will be provided. For more information contact Molly Dugan at 617-822-8778.
