Coordinating a Community Response to the Opioid Epidemic will be presented on Tuesday June 23, 2020; 7:30 p.m.-9:00 p.m., by Molly Welch Marahar, MPP, Opioid Policy Analyst, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services; and Carrie Rheingans, MSW, MPH; WHI Project Manager, Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation, and a panel.
The WHI Opioid Project is a cross sector coalition that was formed to address the opioid crisis in Washtenaw County.
The Opioid Project has members from the health systems, local substance use agencies, government, schools, law enforcement, academia and the recovering community who come together to collectively design and implement policy changes to stem the tide of opioid overdose.
From Red Barrel Events, to Naloxone trainings, to prevention education in schools, the Opioid Project is the touchpoint for initiatives at all levels of public health intervention, from prevention to treatment to harm reduction to policy advocacy.
Learn about coordinating a community-level response to the opioid epidemic from a public health perspective, and find ways to get involved.
This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual education series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about substance use disorders, recovery, family and related issues; and to dispel the myths, misinformation, secrecy, shame and stigma that prevent people with addiction and their families from getting help and getting well.
All programs are free and open to anyone interested.
Registration is not required. 1.5 hours of free C.E. approved by MCBAP (Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals) is provided.
A certificate to document attendance is provided on request.
The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of services for people with substance use disorders.
