UVU Conference on Addiction

The UVU College of Humanities and Social Sciences, in conjunction with its sponsors and supporters, is proud to present the 10th Annual UVU Conference on Addiction. This single-day conference--designed to meet the needs and interests of professionals, service providers, families, community members, and students--will provide information on a wide range of topics dealing with addiction, prevention, and recovery. This event is scheduled for Friday, March 13, 2020 and will be held in the Sorensen Student Center on UVU campus.

At this year's conference, we're pleased to welcome American actress and author Mackenzie Phillips. Mackenzie is a survivor of substance abuse and a visible, outspoken advocate for addiction awareness and education. She currently works as a director at the Breathe Life Healing Center in Los Angeles where she specializes in trauma, drug, and alcohol treatment and recovery. Mackenzie has also been featured on the New York Times Bestsellers List for her memoir, High on Arrival; her second book, Hopeful Healing: Essays on Managing Recovery and Addiction, has been equally successful.

This conference will also feature a several plenary speakers in addition to a variety of concurrent sessions intended to help participants to connect and find support as they explore the complex aspects of addiction, addiction prevention, and recovery.

Based upon previous experience, we anticipate welcoming approximately 400 participants from the community. These participants will be joined by approximately 100 UVU students who have interest in the topic and are seeking more information.
