Hillary Clinton to Host Substance Abuse Community Forum in Boston with Mayor Walsh and Attorney General Healey
 
On Thursday, October 1st, Hillary Clinton will be joined by Mayor Martin J. Walsh and Attorney General Maura Healey to engage in a conversation with the community on substance abuse and its tragic effects on individuals and families in the City of Boston and throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
 
Known as the "quiet epidemic," addiction impacts individuals from every socio-economic status and every neighborhood. More than 500,000 people in Massachusetts suffer from addiction or dependence on drugs and alcohol but are not currently receiving treatment. This forum will offer an opportunity to explore the community's needs for prevention, treatment and recovery for substance abuse and addiction.
 
Since launching her campaign, Hillary has heard countless heartbreaking stories of families and communities torn apart by substance abuse disorders. As a leader in the battle to combat substance abuse, Hillary recently announced her initiative to Combat America’s Deadly Epidemic of Drug and Alcohol Addiction.
