Join us for the 2026 State of Collaboration

Unlocking the Mystery of Emerging Substances Through Education and Collaboration explores how the substance use landscape is changing, with increased access to cannabis-derived and other emerging products like Delta-8, THC-O, and kratom, and features experts breaking down what these substances are and how access and regulation have shifted. Join us as we celebrate the CVARR coalition’s work on addressing substance use while preparing for the work ahead.
