The Power of Dignity: A community conversation on substance use

A panel of CSUR (Community Substance Use Response) members will participate in the conversation but their principal interest is to hear the diverse experiences and insights of other community members. CSUR does not have answers to the many problems, including overdose deaths, related to substance use, but we believe that solutions can emerge from community conversations grounded in mutual respect. We encourage everyone who joins us to exercise the “power of dignity” throughout the event.

Topics to explore together:

• Substance Use
• Substance Use Disorders
• Addiction
• Prevention
• Treatment
• Harm Reduction
• Youth, seniors, & everyone else
• Experiencing crime
• Experiencing homelessness
• Accountability with compassion & non-judgment
