We are a dedicated coalition of over 50 community members, including local legislators, business leaders, educators, law enforcement officers, counselors, parents, medical staff, and concerned citizens, working tirelessly to promote substance abuse prevention.

We are working to prevent opioid misuse by focusing on three key areas:

• Developing guidelines for prescribers
• Implementing opioid prevention curriculum in our community and in our middle and high schools
• Encouraging all families and individuals to “lock up” medications and safely dispose of them

The opioid epidemic is impacting lives across the country, and our community is no exception.

Studies have shown that our area faces significant challenges related to opioid abuse and misuse. This is not a list we want to lead!

Opioid addiction and misuse are preventable through education and action.
