Summary: This webinar provides an overview on the latest research around substance use disorders and recovery. Given the preventable and potentially chronic nature of problematic substance use and its correlation with offending, prosecutors in juvenile court have an important and influential role to play in both preventing and addressing use early on. The concept of recovery support will be covered as well.

Susan Broderick
Program Director
National District Attorneys Association
We lost Susan in December of 2022 to a long battle with cancer. As a respected professional in criminal and juvenile justice issues and a woman in long-term recovery, Susan was passionate about helping others in and out of the justice systems. She started her career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, where she served from 1989 until 2003. Susan joined the National DA's Association in 2003 and went on to serve as an Assistant Research Professor at Georgetown from 2008-2018.
Susan’s expertise and wisdom with regard to addiction and the justice systems were unique and multifaceted. She not only worked on the front lines of the child welfare, juvenile and criminal justice systems, but she spent the last several years studying what works (and what doesn’t), while at Georgetown University. Most importantly, Susan Broderick lived through these issues and her lived experience gave her unique insight into the issues that many other experts have only studied.
Recognizing the multiple opportunities to address addiction within the child welfare and justice systems, Susan worked with jurisdictions to implement innovative prevention and diversion programs, evaluate and refine drug court procedures, enhance the effectiveness of probation protocols and improve outcomes for those leaving the justice system.
Susan's pragmatic perspective gave her tremendous credibility and allowed her to bring a message of hope to anyone in the justice system, no matter where they sat in the courtroom. Given the prevalence of stress and addiction within the legal profession, she worked with Bar Associations across the country to address attorney wellness.
Susan served on the Advisory Board of Harvard University’s Recovery Research Institute and was Chairwoman of the Board of Directors for The Phoenix, a non-profit organization that promotes a sober active lifestyle.
