An "encore" presentation of "Silence Equals Death: How the Heroin Epidemic is Driving Change in Perception, Treatment, and the Law" will be held on Thursday, March 19 at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in Lansing.
A similar program in January at the Auburn Hills campus of WMU Cooley "was so well received that I have been asked to do an 'encore' event at the WMU Cooley Lansing campus," said Professor Lauren Rousseau who served as the coordinator and moderator of the event.
The March 19 event also will include a screening of the movie "The Anonymous People," a documentary about the 23.5 million Americans in long-term recovery from addiction.
The featured speakers at the event will be Oakland County 51st District Court Judge Jodi Debbrecht Switalski; Andre Johnson, president of the Detroit Recovery Project; Dr. Mark Menestrina, former medical director for the Brighton Center for Recovery; Erica Clute-Cubbin, contract management specialist for Meridian Health Services; and Rousseau, board member of Home of New Vision (addiction treatment agency).
Reservations for the program can be made by sending an e-mail to Rousseal@cooley.edu. The program is free, but space is limited.
