On behalf of the Salem State University Friends of the School of Social Work, community members are invited to a special panel presentation on substance use disorder across the lifespan.

Each human being experiences the world with a unique lens, built with various identities and circumstances. Adults across the lifespan living with substance use disorder may also live with chronic medical conditions, co-occurring mental health disorders, housing insecurities, etc. This event consists of a multidisciplinary panel of addiction specialists from public health, outpatient, and community-based settings. The panel will provide expertise in addiction across the lifespan in micro, mezzo, and macro arenas.

Sponsored by the Friends of the School of Social Work, this event features a brief networking reception beginning at 9 am, panel presentation at 9:30 am, break/networking at 11:30 am, followed by a Q&A session at 12 pm and concluding at 1 pm.
