Gabor Maté, MD – Not ‘Why the Addiction’ But ‘Why the Pain’

In this engaging presentation, Gabor will help us understand the factors that have contributed to the brain chemistry and neural pathway dysfunction that underlies addiction. The first half will be presented through a series of stories and easy-to-grasp explanations, to help anyone who has been touched by addiction to come away with a deeper understanding of how and why addiction happens, and what we can do to help both those suffering from addiction and those family and friends who are affected by it. The second half of the evening will feature question-and-answer and interactive discussion between Gabor and audience members.
