ISSUP National Chapter Spotlight

The National Chapters Spotlight Interview is an ISSUP series dedicated to highlighting the people leading and shaping our National Chapters around the world. Through these interviews, we aim to showcase the experiences, achievements, and perspectives of those strengthening the global ISSUP network and advancing the field of substance use. 

This series celebrates the valuable work being carried out across our Chapters while creating opportunities for members to learn from one another, share ideas, and build stronger international connections. As the series continues to grow, we will be featuring more interviews with Chapter leaders, members, partners, and contributors from across the ISSUP community, offering diverse insights, inspiring stories, and examples of impactful work taking place globally.
