There has been a tremendous amount of interest in one of the largest and most ambitious projects to date here at the Columbia University School of Social Work's Social Intervention Group (SIG) -- the HEALing Communities Study in New York State -- which aims to reduce overdose deaths by 40% in less than four years.
The HEALing Communities Study will be formerly introduced to the public for at a breakfast meeting on November 18th at Columbia University's Low Memorial Library, with an exciting lineup of panelists and presenters. The event is free and open to the public, but a RSVP is required.
Dr. El-Bassel, Director of SIG and Principal Investigator of the NIH HEALing Communities Study, appeared on Social Impact Live for a conversation with host Richard Hara to discuss the approach and plans for HEALing.
