Learn how cities are using opioid settlement funds to build partnerships, save lives, and reduce harm in their communities
Cities continue to face the impacts of the opioids epidemic, and many are entering partnerships or creating their own programs using settlement funds to save lives and to mitigate community harms. This webinar will provide an opportunity to hear how funds can be maximized through coordination and thoughtful utilization. Regardless of whether your city is directly receiving settlement funds, this webinar will provide important information on partnerships, programs, and networking to help you better assess and develop your own community specific response.
By attending this webinar you will:
- Gain ideas and connections for your own city’s approach and response to opioids (and other illegal drugs) impacts.
- Learn how to better navigate the state’s reporting dashboard and increase understanding of the statewide reporting data.
- Build awareness that the League continues to assist members with information sharing and current developments related to these settlement funds.
