This Week at LPL
- Great Falls Forum, Thursday, September 16th @ 12pm — September is National Recovery Month. The annual observance sends a hopeful message about the promise and possibilities of a healthy, rewarding life in recovery. At the same time, substance use disorders and mental health problems have worsened in Maine and nationally due to COVID-19. This Great Falls Forum panel will feature state and local experts working on the frontlines to bring hope and new beginnings to more of our neighbors. Join the conversation with Maine’s Director of Opioid Response, the founder of Recovery Connections of Maine, a leader with Lewiston Area Public Health Committee, and Maine’s former Deputy Secretary of State who’s own battle with SUD ended a 30 year career in government, sent him to jail, and led him to a new profession as a Recovery and Re-entry Workforce Specialist.
