   |
Wed, April 24, 2019 @ 3-5:00pm ET(2CT/1MT/12PT)
Join presenters Lisa Connors, LBSW, LCPC, NCC, MAC, ABD, for this free NAADAC webinar which will encourage dialogue that looks at the intersection of slavery, racism, sex, and HIV among African American women. It will address myths, stereotypes, generalizations, and micro-aggressions made by society that continue to stigmatize, oppress, and marginalize this population. Having these conversations will potentially ensure that African American women are treaty fairly and justly, especially in a society where racism is rampant.

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Is April 27th
|
Unused or expired prescription medications at home are a public safety issue and can lead to accidental poisoning, overdose, and abuse. Unused prescriptions thrown in the trash can be retrieved and abused or illegally sold. The misuse and abuse of over-the-counter medications, illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco affect the health and well-being of millions of Americans.
On Saturday, April 27, 2019, from 10:00am to 2:00pm EDT, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, businesses, medical offices, agencies, and first responders, will host events to collect and safely dispose of unwanted medications.
