Topic: Opioid Epidemic

We are very fortunate to have Dr. Katrina Hedberg and Dwight Holton, CEO of Lines for Life, who both come with a wealth of knowledge and expertise on the subject. The Opioid Epidemic is an FBI initiative that we have been pushing educational materials on such to schools and businesses alike. At this meeting we will hand out the FBI's Chasing the Dragon DVD's which provides real stories of folks who have fallen subject to the epidemic. Their stories are extreme yet compelling.
