MyCom Network Members Attend the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) National Leadership Forum
Nearly 2,700 Substance Abuse Prevention Specialists Made a 'Monumental Impact'.
Nearly 2,700 substance abuse prevention and treatment specialists from throughout the country convened at CADCA's 26th Annual National Leadership Forum in February 2016 at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md.
CADCA's National Leadership Forum is the nation's premier training event for substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals and researchers, featuring more than 70 training courses to help participants learn effective strategies to address drug-related problems in their communities.
This four-day training event brings together community drug prevention coalitions from all regions of the country and internationally, government leaders, youth, prevention specialists, addiction treatment professionals, addiction recovery advocates, researchers, educators, law enforcement professionals, and faith-based leaders. Topics ranged from how to address the heroin and opioid epidemic and marijuana use among youth to how to reduce tobacco use and underage drinking.
"This is my second opportunity to attend the CADCA Leadership Conference. I am amazed to see hundreds of national and international community anti-drug coalitions. There was a coalition as far away as the Marshall Islands. I attended the Drug-Free Community grant workshop and was encouraged that Clark-Fulton MyCom Coalition is positioning itself for next year," said Nelson Ramirez, JD, OCPSA Executive Director of Cleveland's Hispanic UMADAOP, who attended the conference along with his MyCom colleagues from East Cleveland, Belinda Kyle and Greg Johnson.
