2018 OPIOID FORUM SERIES
COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
It is no secret that the Opioid pandemic has hit our state like a sledge hammer. This crisis knows no cultural, racial or socio-economic boundaries. In fact, the Center for Disease Control reports a 24% increase in addiction in North Carolina. Our forums are focused on breaking the cycle of this epidemic devastating our community.
We believe low-income individuals can best identify the issues their communities face and develop solutions to resolve them. Community Conversations offer community members an opportunity to have their voice heard, create local networks, and hold community leaders accountable to promote lasting change.
