We are proud to highlight workshop speakers Tom McCarry and Holly Schroeder, who will lead an important session focused on proactive overdose prevention.

Their workshop will equip providers and others with practical strategies to move from reactive responses to proactive models of care. Participants will learn how to use overdose risk screening tools, assess individual patient needs, and develop personalized overdose safety plans that enhance both safety and support.

By addressing a critical educational gap, this session empowers attendees with skills that can truly save lives.

We are proud to highlight Judge Cheryl Roberts, who will be presenting a workshop at our 2025 Education Conference this weekend!

Judge Roberts will offer an inside look at her work in the Hudson City Court and the development of the Mental Health Court—a problem-solving court designed to support individuals living with mental health conditions who encounter the justice system.

Since her appointment to the bench in 2022, Judge Roberts has been a champion for treatment-focused approaches that prioritize dignity, recovery, and community safety.

We’re grateful to have her share her experience and expertise with attendees!
