More details below: \nRecovery Capital refers to the internal and external resources that help individuals initiate and maintain recovery. Emerging Adults\, people aged 18 to 28\, have unique recovery needs\, yet few studies focus on this population. This forum features panelists with lived experience who will explore what Emerging Adults wish they and their families knew about Recovery Capital and how family support influences recovery\, providing researchers\, providers\, and community members with practical insights to inform future studies and recovery support services. \nThis is a co-sponsored event by the Justice-Involved and Emerging Adult Populations (JEAP) Initiative and the Collaborative Hub for Emerging Adult Research (CHEARR) URL:https://cpdd.org/event/informing-research-gaps-recovery-capital-and-emerging-adults/ CATEGORIES:Other Events ORGANIZER;CN="Justice-Involved and Emerging Adult Populations (JEAP) Initiative and the Collaborative Hub for Emerging Adult Research (CHEARR)":MAILTO:jeap@chestnut.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260319 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260321 DTSTAMP:20260404T062935 CREATED:20260310T203533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260310T203705Z UID:16010-1773878400-1774051199@cpdd.org SUMMARY:COPE Training DESCRIPTION:Get trained in COPE\, a first-line treatment for PTSD and co-occurring substance use disorders\, from March 19-20 (9 to 5pm EST). \nTRAINING PROVIDES: \n\nComprehensive overview of PTSD and substance use disorder comorbidity\nEmpirically-supported and trauma-focused techniques to reduce PTSD and substance use simultaneously\nSession-by-session checklists\nInteractive role plays and real-world case examples URL:https://cpdd.org/event/cope-training/ CATEGORIES:CPDD Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://cpdd.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Picture1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260320 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260323 DTSTAMP:20260404T062935 CREATED:20251015T191716Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251216T214754Z UID:15297-1773964800-1774223999@cpdd.org SUMMARY:2026 BBC Conference DESCRIPTION:2026 BBC Conference\, San Antonio\, TX March 20-22\, 2026 \nImportant Dates for BBC 2026!\nRegistration Open: 3 November 2025\nTravel Award Deadline: 12 December 2025\nAbstract Deadline: 27 February 2026\nRegistration Close: 27 February 2026 \n*Abstracts submitted after 12 December are not eligible for travel awards.

Jerrold Tannenbaum will be returning and joined by Brandon Morton and Taylor Bennett for a presentation titled “How Can We Defend Animal Research – As Ideology That Rejects Sound Science and Humane Ethics Is Increasingly Driving the Opposition?” \nDefending animal research is becoming increasingly difficult. Not because research has failed to contribute to the health and well-being of humans and animals\, but because a large and increasing proportion of the opposition ignores or dismisses scientific evidence of the effectiveness\, and necessity\, of animal research. Opponents also increasingly ignore or dismiss ethical principles that have been cornerstones of medical science\, such as the principle that humans are of greater worth and value than animals and that we may use them when necessary to understand and combat disease\, illness\, and disability. \nAnimal research opponents are adopting ideologies that ignore or reject critical scientific and ethical principles that have traditionally been foundations of animal research. These ideologies are adopted before debate or discussion even begins. The result is that it has become even more difficult for the research community to defend animal research by documenting the necessity and benefits of this research\, the humane treatment of research animals\, and the lack of availability of non-animal methodologies in certain kinds of research. \nIdeological rejection of animal research is not new. What is new is its adoption by government officials who have the power to curtail and eventually end animal research. In the past\, such officials could be counted on to consider impartially and fairly the scientific and ethical case for animal research. \nThis webinar will describe and explain the most important ideologies employed against scientifically and ethically valuable and necessary animal research. We will explore ways of countering these ideologies\, including practical steps all who are involved in animal research can\, and must\, take now.
