Although news reports detail the devastation of opioid misuse across the country, many healthcare professionals in Central Texas are unaware of the risk that adolescents, especially girls ages 10-17, face. The FREE training will be on Wednesday, May 15, 2019 from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm. CNE and CME available.
