Prevention Training Academy Film Series: Chasing Heroin

By | Published:

FRONTLINE looks at America’s heroin crisis in a fresh and provocative light — telling the stories of individual addicts, but also illuminating the epidemic’s years-in-the-making social context, deeply examining shifts in drug policy, and exploring what happens when addiction is treated like a public health issue, not a crime.

Join us for a screening and discussion.

Date and Time: Wednesday August 23, 2017 from 6pm-8pm PDT.

Location: 225 37th Avenue Room 100, San Mateo, CA 94403.

This film series is brought to you by The Community Health Promotion Unit of San Mateo County Health System.
