We're excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar, "Addressing the Opioid Crisis with the ADA and Civil Rights Laws." This informative session will shed light on the positive impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and federal civil rights statutes in combatting the opioid crisis.
Learning Objectives:
- Detail how the criminal justice system and health systems routinely deny persons with opioid use disorder access to their medications, perpetuating the opioid crisis.
- Describe how federal civil rights laws protect individuals with opioid use disorder and ensure access to medications used for addiction treatment.
- Summarize how the Department of Justice has been actively working to reduce these barriers using all available federal civil rights statutes.
Our distinguished speaker, Greg Dorchak – Disability Advocate and Assistant Attorney in the Civil Rights Unit at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts, brings a wealth of expertise to this topic. Greg's extensive background includes teaching disability rights at Boston University School of Law, holding a J.D. from Northeastern University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Greg and gain valuable insights into how the ADA and civil rights laws are shaping the response to the opioid crisis.
