People who have experienced toxic stress, caused by experiences in a household or in the community, are at much higher risk for problematic substance use and addiction. In this workshop, participants will explore the data on toxic stress and problematic substance use and examine trauma-responsive approaches to prevention.

Led by Liz Blackwell-Moore, MPH, PS-C, Public Health Consultant with Birch Lane Strategies. Liz has been working in the field of substance use and chronic disease prevention since 2000, first in direct service as a case manager and for the last 15 years specializing in substance use prevention and behavioral health promotion.

This event is a collaboration between the Tewksbury Public Library and the Front Line Initiative with Prevention Project Manager Maria Ruggiero.
