Previous webinars have laid the foundation regarding the impact of addiction on the brain and ways to support tribal members’ journeys out of addiction. Join this session for a facilitated discussion and open forum with subject matter experts who will answer your practical questions regarding working with the impacts of addiction on the brain. Prior to the session, we will gather feedback from you about what you would like to learn about the topic from the experts. Your participation is encouraged during the session, and additional questions will be taken at that time.
