Dr. Collins Receives First Annual G. Alan Marlatt Award
Susan Collins, Ph.D., has received the first annual G. Alan Marlatt Research Award from the Addictive Behaviors Special Interest Group at ABCT for commitment to harm reduction research, theory, and practice.
There are many people who deserve it more, but I will strive to live up to it!

9th National Harm Reduction Conference!
We just presented a symposium with our community partners on Housing First at the 9th National HRC!
Inspired by the LAMP Community of LA!
It’s not often that a person can say that their job is about supporting people in making their dreams come true. Here at the HaRRT lab, we are so luck!!! In one of our NIH grant studies led by Seema Clifasefi, we are figuring out what people want and need out of housing and helping make that happen.
It is the most fun work I have ever been involved with!
~ Susan Collins, Ph.D.
In preparing for this project, we have been able to visit LA’s LAMP community. They are doing some pretty inspirational work. Check out their art studio and buy some art at: http://www.lampcommunity.org/art-project.php
