And this one was passed along by Catherine Trent. This is a free training on the current heroin epidemic in Indiana. The seminar is free and will be held at the YWCA in Lafayette. This one is eligible for points for my students (10-20), but you have to register.
Okay, I can't get this particular document to copy or link or anything, so let me just tell you.
The YWCA is offering a 3-hour seminar on "The Resurgence of Heroin in Indiana." The seminar is described as follows:
In this training we will look at how heroin (and morphine)
are once again exploding onto the scene, leaving a wake
of shattered lives in their paths. Taking pain pills is often
a start to this cycle, and can be a reality for many of our
clients, as they were placed on them after an injury due
to domestic violence. Getting hooked on them is easy
and often not something they realize until it has happened.
During the last 18 months the gates have started
closing for those who depended on or were addicted to
synthetic heroin (pain pills) due to tighter regulations governing
prescriptions; in turn drug dealers have scrambled
to meet the demands by selling more Heroin and less
pain pills in many areas.
This training series is facilitated by ICADV training consultant
Dr Carla Gaff Clark. Because this training has
been certified by the Indiana Professionals Bureau, 3
Continuing Education Units will be available.
The training is on Tuesday, November 10, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
