Event Calendar

Learn from Dr. Brian J. Dew in an important informational session on the topic of emerging drug trends among teens. Dr. Dew currently serves as Chair of the Department of Counseling and Psychological Services at Georgia State University and has served as Atlanta’s primary representative to the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA’s) Community Epidemiological Work Group for the last 12 years, where he is responsible for reporting Atlanta drug trends to federal officials. Dr. Dew’s research has been focused on substance use, primarily on the topics of methamphetamine use and treatment, ecstasy use, and more recently, the spread of opiate consumption. He is also closely monitoring the e-cig and vaping trends and will be speaking to these topics for teens today.

Due to the difficult nature of the topic, this event is recommended for adults only.

Presented in partnership with Congregation Gesher L’Torah, HAMSA (Helping Atlantans Manage Substance Abuse), and The Blue Dove Foundation.
