Abstract:

Calgary is in the midst of the opioid crisis. As substance abuse and addiction issues continue to increase, representatives from the Calgary Dream Centre would like to provide an informative session for individuals experiencing or have loved ones in addiction. The more awareness we have in understanding addiction, the more empowered we are as a community to support individuals struggling with addiction.
