Field Leaders Seek Consensus on Public-Policy Agenda
Feature article at JoinTogether - "The addiction field can and should speak with a single voice on issues of mutual concern, such as the need for prevention and treatment services and the fight against stigma, leaders of 15 major field organizations agreed at a Jan. 13 meeting in Washington, D.C. The meeting was called to discuss both message development and collaboration on a broader public-policy agenda, and was convened as the result of informal talks among the leaders of groups like the Legal Action Center (LAC), the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), the Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC), and Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA)."
