Depression. Addiction. It can be hard to talk about these subjects, whether you are the one struggling with them or it’s a friend or family member you are worried about. Providence Swedish understands this and wants to help with a free Community Talk on behavioral health and addiction services at the Providence Behavioral Health & Recover in Lacey on October 17 at 5 p.m.
Presentations provided by Dani Benavente, SUDP, CADC, Donna Putman, SUDP, LMHC and Stephen Lykins, MD will help anyone who is struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health issues, as well as those who are concerned about a loved one.
Community Talk on Addiction and Mental Health Issues
The evening will begin with a meet and greet with Benavente, Putman and Lykins from 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. It’s your chance to get to know these medical experts in a relaxed setting. Then from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., they will present on the following subjects:
- Connections between substance use and mental health
- Is addiction a disease?
- Which drugs are commonly abused
