This video will provide an evidence‑informed overview of the impact nutrition has on substance use/misuse —including opioids and stimulants— and its role in recovery. We’ll discuss how mood, recovery and relapse are directly influenced by common nutritional and physiological disturbances such as disrupted eating and activity patterns, insomnia, nutrient deficiencies, weight and metabolism imbalances, dieting, blood sugar instability, cravings, and gut problems. We’ll explore the science, learn to recognize and apply actionable tools to help improve treatment outcomes and reduce relapse vulnerability. Practical, low‑barrier resources, strategies and interventions will be discussed that integrate nutrition into care without adding burden to staff or clients including brief nutrition education, fiber and protein “anchors,” complex carbohydrates and blood sugar regulation, hydration, accessible snacking and budget‑friendly meal planning suitable for clients in real‑world treatment settings.
Preventing substance use among youth starts at home and in the classroom. This video will explore practical, evidence-based strategies that families and schools can use to reduce risk and build resilience in children and adolescents. Participants will learn how to recognize early warning signs, foster open communication, implement school-based prevention programs, and create strong partnerships between educators and caregivers.
Local policies play a critical role in shaping how communities respond to the opioid crisis. This video will focus on the policy-making process and empower attendees with practical strategies to influence opioid-related decisions in their own communities. From expanding access to treatment and prevention services to securing funding and changing local laws, participants will learn how to engage decision-makers, build coalitions, and drive meaningful change.
Rural communities face unique challenges in addressing substance use disorders, from limited access to care and transportation barriers to social labeling and workforce shortages. This webinar will explore innovative, community-driven strategies that are helping rural areas expand treatment access and build recovery-ready environments. Attendees will gain insights into successful models such as mobile clinics, telehealth, peer support networks, and faith-based partnerships, along with practical tools and resources to take action locally.
This Listening Session addresses the emotional, cognitive, and professional impact of opioid-related crises on those working in prevention, treatment, and recovery, including clinicians, peers, first responders, and systems leaders.

Attendees will hear from colleagues who have navigated the grief and ethical ambiguity that follow overdose loss or suicide, while also gaining insight into sustainable work-life integration practices and emotional recovery strategies.
