\u0412\u0430\u0448\u0438\u043d\u0433\u0442\u043e\u043d -<\/strong> Community leaders from across the country, including the Washington, D.C. metro area, are headed to Capitol Hill Feb. 3rd to meet with U.S. Senators and Representatives from nearly 50 states to educate them about critical substance abuse issues. These Congressional meetings are taking place during Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America’s (CADCA) 26th annual National Leadership Forum, the nation\u2019s largest training conference for substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals and researchers, as part of Capitol Hill Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is critical, now more than ever, to make the case for the importance of primary prevention and to cultivate new congressional champions,\u201d said Gen. Arthur T. Dean, CADCA Chairman & CEO.<\/p>\n

Capitol Hill Day kicks off with an opening plenary followed by a congressional reception on the Hill. Several distinguished Members of Congress will provide remarks at each event and Congresswoman Susan Brooks (R-Ind.), Congressman Paul Tonko (D-NY), and Senator Joseph Simon Donnelly (D-Ind.) will receive CADCA\u2019s Congressional Leadership Award. The day concludes with Congressional appointments.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many families across Indiana and our country have come to know firsthand the pain of a loved one suffering from addiction and that is why I have been working to stem the tide of this public health crisis. It\u2019s encouraging that we are seeing some momentum and bipartisan consensus in Indiana, and in the Senate there are commonsense actions we can take that will make a difference for Hoosiers and Americans. It is an honor to receive this recognition, and I will continue working in a bipartisan way to address the opioid abuse and heroin use epidemics by expanding prevention, treatment, and recovery services,\u201d said U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly (D-Ind).
