The CCR team had a great time presenting at the 2019 Statewide Substance Use Disorder Conference in Long Beach. During our breakout session we highlighted the San Diego County prevention system and evaluation services provided by CCR. The statewide conference is a great opportunity to collaborate with other providers engaged in the substance use prevention system. We are looking forward to participating in future events.
