FREE meetings with benzo-wise doctors - DocTalks - starting June 22

Thank you for your comments on the Alliance and on DocTalks.

 

The video of the presentation portion of the first DocTalk, "Working With Your Prescriber:  a conversation  with Steven Wright, MD", has been posted on the website for the Alliance for Benzodiazepine Best Practices at https://benzoreform.org/doctalks/.  This same location contains a link to the presentation slides.  The slides contain hot links and abundant source document references.

 

Limited registration is now open at the same location (https://benzoreform.org/doctalks/) for the next 2 DocTalks:

July 20th, 2021: Managing Benzo Withdrawal: a conversation with Reid Finlayson, MD

August 17th, 2021: Managing Ongoing Symptoms: a conversation with Arwen Podesta, MD

 

Announcements will be posted on "Benzos in the News" for each upcoming DocTalk.

You guys are the best! Great presentation! And what a great mission. Will be supporting the alliance with my charitable donations this year that's for sure. Well done.

I missed this but am excited for the next one. I just gave them my name and email address. I presume anonymity is preserved at the actual presentation unless people decide otherwise?

Hello, Mygoodlife.  Tip of the hat for recognizing the importance of protecting your real world identity in these Zoom meetings.  I’ve included suggestions below. If you or other members have additional suggestions, please share them.

 

The Alliance only records the opening segment of the meetings (when the doctor is presenting); the Q&A segment between the doctor and participants is not recorded.

I am just seeing this now.  Was this Dr. Wright who is from Colorado or the one from Canada?  Same name.

 

Also what time are these conversations?  I didn't see it mentioned.

 

Thanks!

 

Your'e talking about Dr. Jim Wright, who is Canadian and serves on Benzodiazepine Information Coalition's Medical Board.
