We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming NordAN conference, "Rethinking Addiction: Policy, Prevention, and Progress". This theme reflects our commitment to engaging with the pressing challenges of alcohol and drug misuse in our societies and our determination to shape a more health-oriented and effective approach to tackling these issues.

In a region renowned for its pioneering social policies and strategies, it is crucial that we continue to innovate and push boundaries in how we address addiction. 
 

Our chosen theme provides a frame to evaluate existing practices, examine recent developments, and envisage new strategies for prevention and rehabilitation. 
 

We aspire for this conference to be a platform where thought leaders, policymakers, scientists, and practitioners can gather to engage in open discussions. We will delve into a range of topics - from the current state of rehabilitation services in Estonia to the latest scientific controversies in the field, the evolving European cannabis landscape, the role of parents in prevention, and specific issues pertinent to our member countries.
 

We aim to encourage dialogue, share knowledge, and provoke collective action. 
 

We want to inspire each other to rethink our assumptions, challenge conventional wisdom, and embrace fresh perspectives. Through this conference, we seek to make a significant stride forward in the Nordic and Baltic nations' shared journey towards addressing substance issues and addiction more effectively. We look forward to your participation in this conversation.
