The Quinnipiac University School of Law Center in North Haven is teaming up with community members to address the state's opioid crisis.
An invitation-only forum featuring professionals and others affected by the deadly crisis will be livestreamed Nov. 9 and is expected to generate policy recommendations, said Dean Jennifer Gerarda Brown, and “identify programs to help and support those afflicted by opioid addiction, including their families, towns, schools, communities and treaters, to destigmatize the disease, and to offer hope to those who have been affected by opioid addiction.”
Brown said the day-long summit will identify programs that are working and help develop additional recommendations. State and local government officials and professionals from various fields examine what first responders are seeing in the field, discuss available treatment options and hear first-person accounts from dependent users, family members and caregivers.
