Past, Present, and Future: How Generations Play a Role in Substance Use

Join us for a thought-provoking forum exploring the complex interplay between generational trauma, epigenetics, and substance use. This event will feature expert speakers and a panel discussion, including the renowned Marcus Anderson, to delve into how these factors intersect, particularly within marginalized communities.

We will discuss the concept of generational trauma and how it can be transmitted through families and communities. Additionally, we will explore the role of epigenetics in influencing the transmission of trauma and the development of substance use disorders. Furthermore, the forum will examine how unresolved trauma and epigenetic factors can increase the risk of substance use as a coping mechanism.

To break the cycle of generational trauma and substance use, we will explore strategies for healing from trauma and addressing epigenetic factors. Additionally, we will discuss the role of community-based programs and resources in addressing both substance use and generational trauma within marginalized communities.

This forum offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into the interconnectedness of substance use, generational trauma, and epigenetics, and to learn about practical strategies for prevention and recovery.

Those who RSVP before 11/13/14 will be entered to win a prize donated by Southwood Landscape and Nature Center.
