LIFE OR DEATH PLANNING: GUIDING CLIENTS THROUGH THE OPIOID CRISIS

Cheryl Canzanella CLU, ChSNC, CAP, LUTCF

March 20, 2025

10:00am MST

Register to Attend

Nearly half of Americans know someone struggling with addiction, making substance use disorders a reality that financial professionals can’t afford to ignore. As the opioid epidemic continues to devastate families, its financial impact extends beyond personal hardship—costing the U.S. economy over $1 trillion annually and directly affecting careers, retirement plans, estates, and marriages. The responsibility of financial advisors goes beyond traditional wealth management. Addiction can drain financial resources, create estate planning complications, and leave loved ones vulnerable to long-term financial distress. This course equips financial professionals with the knowledge and tools to identify financial red flags, understand the legal and planning challenges posed by addiction, and implement proactive strategies to safeguard their clients’ financial futures. By integrating personal narratives, case studies, and financial planning solutions, this session provides actionable steps to help clients navigate the financial fallout of substance abuse—while ensuring advisors are prepared for the difficult conversations that come with it.

Your role as a financial advisor is more than managing money—it’s about protecting financial legacies. Gain the knowledge to help clients before it’s too late.
