Western Michigan University Cooley Law School will host a free movie event and panel discussion on Sunday, Oct. 18 at its Auburn Hills campus regarding the stigma of addiction.
The event is presented by Mi-HOPE (Michigan Heroin and Opiate Prevention and Education), a local nonprofit organization comprised of passionate individuals who have been personally affected by the heroin and prescription drug epidemic in our state and community.

Following the film, there will be a panel with four experts in the addiction field.
This discussion will be moderated by Erica Clute-Cubbin, southeast regional president of the Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities Oakland County Families Against Narcotics. The panel will include:
• Macomb County 41B District Court Judge Linda Davis, president of Families Against Narcotics.
• Andre Johnson, president and CEO of the Detroit Recovery Project.
• Lauren Rousseau, WMU-Cooley Law School professor.
• Deborah Garrett, director of recovery communication with R.E.A.L. MI (Recovery, Education, Advocacy and Leadership).
