👏 Special thanks to all speakers for their valuable contributions and their openness to sharing knowledge and experience.
🙏 We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the DASM project team for the impeccable organization and to all participants for their engagement and open dialogue. It is encouraging to see a committed community working toward improving support services for individuals affected by addiction.
