Hi! I am Dr. Donna Poppendieck, more commonly known in the college classroom as Dr. P. I have been involved in the addiction treatment and prevention community for the past 18 years and have been teaching mental health in universities for about 15 years. Having grown up in a family with drug abuse, and having successfully healed myself from autoimmune disease, I am always interested in exploring legitimate, evidence-based pathways to full and complete health and recovery - in thoughts, feelings, body, and spirit - for any and all interested people. This course discusses why communities are a necessary part of the movement to prevent substance use from starting, especially in our young ones. I hope you enjoy the course!
