Hope and Help: America’s Overdose Crisis

Journalist and bestselling author Beth Macy, in partnership with Essentia Health, is hosting a virtual presentation to discuss the stigma surrounding substance use disorder.

Macy will present evidence-based pathways for getting people into care. There is a need for health care teams to meet substance use disorder patients with nonjudgmental care and harm reduction as a gateway into medication-assisted therapy.

Macy is best known for her books “Dopesick,” which inspired the Hulu limited series of the same name, and “Raising Lazarus.”

Those interested can join via Zoom.

This event is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
