Join us for an enlightening conversation ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ with esteemed film producer, writer, and director Dr. Debra Gonsher Vinik. With over 200,000 women lost๐Ÿ’” to the opioid crisis since 2000, Dr. Vinik sheds light on a largely overlooked aspect of this devastating epidemic - the plight of women suffering from Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).๐Ÿšบ


Delving into her groundbreaking feature film, "Attention Must Be Paid: Women Lost in the Opioid Crisis," our discussion aims to bring awareness ๐Ÿšจ to the unique struggles faced by women in the throes of addiction. We also explore the pressing question of where the $54 billion in opioid litigation settlement funds are being allocated.๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ต


This interview is more than just a conversation. It's a call to action ๐Ÿ“ข for more women-specific addiction recovery resources and a plea for society to pay attention to the women lost in the shadows of the opioid crisis. Don't miss out on this urgent and informative discussion.


*The film discussed is made into two parts to air on ABC-affiliated stations under โ€œListen to the Silence: Women Trapped in the Opioid Epidemic.โ€ The first airing is November 12th, 2023.
