In a collective push against the opioid crisis, Douglas County has stepped up its game with the inauguration of the Opioid Abatement Advisory Council. On the heels of securing settlement funds targeted at combating this pervasive issue, the Council is reaching out to the public. Their upcoming Stakeholder Engagement Meeting is an opportunity both to inform and to tap into the diverse perspectives within the community on how best to allocate these resources, as stated on the official county website.
Backed by the Board of Commissioners, the Council aims to provide informed and inclusive recommendations on managing upcoming funds. The upcoming engagement session will go beyond routine discussions, featuring a panel on the real-world impact of the opioid crisis—a timely focus during National Recovery Month. The event is free and open to the public.
Those interested in attending can direct their inquiries to an email provided by the Douglas County Advisement, ensuring a channel for pre-meeting questions or concerns is wide open.
