This is the first of a series of classes available to help families understand, cope, and navigate through substance use disorder.
Join us as UAB’s Bronwyn McInturff will discuss how to understand addiction!
About this event
Almost all of us know someone suffering with addiction, but are confused about why some people are particularly vulnerable to the disease. Discover the “why” so you can develop an understanding of the issues and the interventions. Hear directly from a person in long term recovery about their experience and what was helpful and not helpful.’ by Bronwyn McInturff (UAB Addiction Recovery)
This training is specifically designed for Parents of children (any age) who are involved in substance use and misuse as well as concerned significant others who have loved ones dealing with substance use disorder.
Bronwyn McInturff has served the Birmingham mental health community for over 20 years. She graduated with her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Birmingham Southern and a masters in social work from the University of Alabama.

She is the director of addiction services for psychiatry at UAB and is adjunct faculty in the department of social work.
