Being provided this opportunity is heartwarming. I can take my lived experience of substance use & combine it with my social work profession, with other professionals with lived experience. There is nothing like that connection. -Andie Ruggles, Multidisciplinary Engagement Award Winner #AMERSA2024

"AMERSA has grown the organization in a way that has kept it truly multidisciplinary. That's a hard thing to do. It's hard to not prioritize a particular profession, but it has really not grown that way, but preserved its multidisciplinarity." - Matt Tierney, MS, NP, FAAN #AMERSA2024

Great project by Dr Ilana Hull on uptake of Xylazine testing of substances during pregnancy. Pregnant people want to protect their offspring and change behaviors based on knowledge of drug supply! #AMERSA2024
