America’s Failed Response to the Opioid Crisis with Author Shoshana Walter
With Special Guest Host Barbara Kingsolver
Click here to register for this online event and submit questions for the author.
This event is online-only. Join us for a special conversation between award-winning journalist Shoshana Walter and bestselling and award-winning author Barbara Kingsolver as they chat about Walter’s book Rehab: An American Scandal. In this work, Walter, a Pulitzer finalist, exposes the country’s failed response to the opioid crisis, and the malfeasance, corruption, and snake oil which blight the drug rehabilitation industry.
Today, more people have access to treatment than ever before. So why isn’t it working? The answer is that in America—where anyone can get addicted—only certain people get a real chance to recover. Despite record numbers of overdose deaths, our default response is still to punish, while rehabs across the United States fail to incorporate scientifically proven strategies and exploit patients. In this book, you’ll find the stories of four people who represent the failures of the rehab-industrial complex, and the ways our treatment system often prevents recovery.
Be sure to register now to participate in this urgent conversation and learn insight on how we might fix the system to save lives.

Location: Chapin Memorial Library - Large Study Room (207)
Program Type: Adult
A Death Cafe is a time and place where people, often strangers, come to share cake, sip tea or coffee, and discuss death openly and honestly. The aim is to increase awareness about death in order to help people make the most of their (finite) lives. There is never an intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action. Interesting conversations are guaranteed!
We’ll embrace the principles of the International DeathCafé movement that began in London, as we will try to foster a deeper understanding of death and its role in shaping our lives.
There's no agenda, no sales pitches — just authentic conversations driven by the interests of the participants. All are welcome to attend any/all sessions and can participate as much as they are comfortable. However, it's important to note that this is not a grief support group or counseling session — it's a space for questioning, sharing, exploration and connection.
These are no-charge events. Brian Long, who has led more than 80+ Death Cafes in Pennsylvania and Myrtle Beach, is our facilitator.
*Minors under the age of 17 are required to have parental consent to attend.
*Each cafe session is limited to 10 participants.
