Another Way to Look at the Opioid Epidemic: a Journey of Self-Discovery

The current opioid epidemic in the United States is not only a threat to the lives and the health of opioid misusers, but is an enormous challenge for those responding to the epidemic. We seek to provide a deeper understanding of the origins of substance misuse, how it has been and might be interrupted and prevented and how to support your own needs in working with opioid users.

Equality & Equity – Advancing the LGBT Community in Massachusetts

Please join us for a special gathering of civic, community, and business leaders, as we release a new report and consider the state of the LGBT community in Massachusetts. During the event, new data will be shared, lived experiences will be highlighted, and space will be created to discuss ideas for action.

The report authored by Boston Indicators and the Fenway Institute features new research about our state’s LGBT community, drawing on public data, findings from existing research and key insights from interviews and listening sessions. Following a presentation of the report’s findings, we will have a series of discussions on the inequities facing today’s diverse LGBT community and ways to address them and other challenges going forward.
