Greg Dorst will discuss the harmful physical and mental effects of alcohol, drug abuse, and addiction.
How do we recognize use and abuse of alcohol and other substances?
Why are legal professionals prone to alcohol, drug abuse, and addiction?
What are the impacts to family, friends, employers, clients, and colleagues of alcohol and drug abusers?
When is it time to get professional help to intervene and preserve one's health and career?
He will use his own personal story and experience to bring these important issues to the forefront.
He will also provide resources for your consideration and highlight the role that The Other Bar can play in the recovery process.
