Saving Our Children

The Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC and the Center on Addiction @CntrOnAddiction hosted a panel discussion on innovative approaches to treating addiction in young adults on 10/11. The two groups are joining forces to develop evidence-based screening, preventive practices, and treatment specifically tailored to young people. Moderated by Justin Luke Riley, president of Young People In Recovery, panelists were Dr. Yasmin Hurd, Director of the Addiction Institue of Mount Sinai, Dr. Charles Neighbors, director of health services at the Center on Addiction, and yours truly. Here's the video of the event. I was in the company of some very smart people. It's worth your time to hear what they had to say. Go here for the first part. Download for the full video.
