Aging & Addiction: The Silver Tsunami

This guide is for everyone. Whether you are a sufferer of substance abuse or mental health, or you are a supportive family member, social workers and healthcare professional, this book is created for you.

Shame and stigma are just two of the reasons this growing issue remains invisible and goes mostly untreated.

That’s why it is imperative that we continue to highlight this issue and work together toward recovery.
