According to research, nearly half of all Americans have been touched by drug addiction through a friend or family member.

This community talk will provide families with the insight they need to navigate this difficult situation and set healthy boundaries."
During the event, attendees will learn how to:
- Identify the signs of enabling behavior and the impact
