OPIOID AWARENESS
Guest Speaker:  SMSgt, Nancy Hanula, Civil Operations Program Manager, PA Department of Mililtary  and Veterans Affairs Counterjoint Drug Task Force

The sudden rise in opioid and prescription narcotic deaths, both nationally and throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has presented a unique challenge to local communities. The Opioid Awareness Seminar focuses on national, statewide and local trends relating to heroin, prescription opioids, and other opioid compounds.  Overdose awareness, recognizing a potential addiction and community prevention/treatment programs will also be discussed providing a realization of how the opioid epidemic can affect the school environment and the community.
 
Unfortunately almost everyone knows someone connected to this crisis.  Not only is it good general knowledge for everyone to have but from an employer’s human resources perspective it is information that can be passed along to an employee who either has a substance use disorder or who is close to someone who does.
