Speaker: Lori Harger, RN, PMHNP-BC This session explores the latest updates in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid dependence while integrating botanical and nutritional strategies to support recovery. Beyond clinical interventions, we’ll discuss harm-reduction approaches, essential community resources, and practical tools for fostering resilience in individuals navigating this challenging journey. Attendees will also be invited to engage in self-reflection on their role in supporting patients through one of the most complex and deeply human aspects of healthcare.
