Loving Our Addicted Daughters Back To Life: June 9th at 6 - 7:30 pm

Currently, more than eight million women are estimated to have a substance use disorder in our country and the majority of them get addicted when they are in their mid-teens to early twenties. Linda Dahl wrote Loving Our Addicted Daughters Back to Life out of her experience as the mother of a then-teenaged daughter who experimented with marijuana and pills and then became a heroin addict. Her daughter is now in recovery and leading a productive life.

Linda will speak about:

*gender-specific addiction research and how it helps in treatment and recovery

*tools for recognizing substance use disorder and relapse in young women

*communication between daughters and their care providers

*managing parental shame, guilt, fear, anger

*A Q & A will follow this talk

The author of seven published books and many articles, Linda has given many book talks, discussions, and lectures. Registration is required. Call the library at 914 232-5717 or register online at www.somerslibrary.org.
