September 18th, Los Angeles California
We were excited to host our inaugural Summit, hosted by CAA.This gathering brought together experts, advocates, and communities to advance real solutions. Grantees, community leaders, treatment specialists, and other stakeholders convened to forge long-term partnerships, share strategies, and strengthen the collective impact of grassroots organizations fighting substance use disorder. The speakers included Hunter Biden, Scott Gemmill (Executive Producer and Showrunner of HBO’s The Pitt), Debbie Allen (Executive Producer Grey’s Anatomy and founder of the nonprofit Debbie Allen Dance Academy), Brian Mann (NPR Addiction & Recovery Correspondent) and Dr. Sarah Wakeman & Dr. Sarah Kler (Fellowship for Addiction Medicine at Mass General) and Adam Sud (Behavioral Wellness & Nutrition Expert, International Speaker). The Summit sparked the vital conversations that too often go unheard, breaking the silence, dismantling stigma, and building a movement for lasting change.
