Presenter: Marcus Lawson is an Associate Professor of History at Capital Community College. He holds a master’s degree in International Relations and Globalization from Central Connecticut State University. His expertise lies in the area of using synthesized concepts in history, political science/ international relations and other disciplines to bring alive historical events. Mr. Lawson also conducts research through place based teaching methods at local institutions in Hartford, as a way to bring the historical and current relevance of history to the classroom.

The current opioid crisis plaguing the United States is killing tens of thousands of people and putting a strain on treatment programs across the country. As a result, social workers must be prepared to understand and respond to the crisis. To this end, this seminar will begin with a general discussion on addictive substances, covering all of the major drugs of abuse including stimulants, depressants, alcohol, and marijuana.
