Have you ever pondered the intricate human stories behind the harrowing statistics of poly-substance overdoses?

The discussion shines a light on the underbelly of our community's struggle with substance use, showcasing the integral part played by next-of-kin interviews in piecing together the deeper personal accounts that numbers alone cannot tell. This heart-to-heart is aimed at amplifying the effectiveness of our collective response, ensuring no story is left unheard and no lesson unlearned.
Facing the impact of substance misuse requires more than compassion; it necessitates a mosaic of skills and knowledge. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the avenues of education and certification critical for those aspiring to make a tangible difference in public health, mental health counseling, and peer support. From the front lines of intervention, our guests share insights into the blend of data analysis and behavioral health proficiency that serve as pillars for improving client support within the community.
