Despite our national and global focus on coronavirus, the opioid pandemic continues to rage across America. Between May of 2019 and May of 2020, over 81,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States, the highest number of overdose deaths ever recorded in a 12-month period, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As personal injury attorneys, our members are in a unique position to address this crisis. Join us for a special presentation by a renowned expert in integrative health and opioid addiction. During this session, attorneys will learn about:

• Current statistical data and risk factors
• Clinical effects of opioids and how the biochemistry affects the brain
• History and the evolution of the crisis
• How overdose deaths occur and how to prevent them and treat addiction
• How attorneys and the legal system are affected and how to help
