Reporter Newspapers' Erin Schilling publicized a recent virtual question-and-answer session between NYT Bestselling Author David Sheff — "Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction" — and Leslie Lubell, HAMSA Program Manager.
EXCERPT: “The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated addiction issues, and families are feeling the negative effects more than ever,” the press release reads. “HAMSA, a unique program offering addiction and recovery support through a Jewish lens, recognizes that support for these families is crucial.”
Sheff is an advocate for addiction prevention and treatment and has dedicated years to investigating drug problems in the U.S.
David was gracious enough to respond to a few questions from a few of the more than 300 attendees. The one-hour session entitled "Addiction & Families: A Conversation with Author and Advocate David Sheff" was recorded and is now available for all to watch.
