Prof. Casey King, founder of the successful ninth-year Addiction and Recovery Series, said, "Inviting famous speakers who have overcome addiction attracts many people to the college campus and provides a starting point for many who dream of fighting alcohol and drug addiction but don't have the right support to do so. This series provides a solid foundation for their success."
Other events in the series include Dr. Kevin McCauley, a national specialist in addiction therapy. Dr. McCauley will present at 7 p.m., Thurs., Mar. 3, on concepts and practices in addiction recovery management. Prof. King said this lecture is especially helpful to therapists, counselors and treatment program administrators. Topics of this presentation will include drug testing recovery coaches, recovery residences, support groups and addiction medicine specialists.
Two additional sessions will follow on Thurs., Mar. 10, with a panel of HGTC students, faculty and staff who are in recovery from addiction, and on Thurs., Mar. 17, with a special showing of Dr. McCauley's presentation, "Memo to Self: Protecting Sobriety with the Science of Safety," followed by a discussion.
All lectures will start at 7 p.m. in the Burroughs and Chapin Auditorium, and will be preceded by dinner at 6 p.m. All events are free and open to the public. For further information, contact Prof. Casey King at (843) 349-5378, or [email protected].
