⚠️ WARNING: This episode discusses topics relating to drug and alcohol use. Please listen with care. ⚠️



On this episode I chat with fellow Rider University alumna, Margarita Leahy, Ed.S., NCC, LPC, LCADC, ACS. She recently became the Executive Director of the Mercer Council on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction. Margarita explains the difference between intervention and prevention, as well as what an intervention looks like in real life. We also discuss the impact the pandemic had on drug and alcohol use, as well as the increase in suicidal ideation.
