EVENT DESCRIPTION: Dr. Grenae Dudley, President and CEO of The Youth Connection, has been a driving force in expanding naloxone access and overdose prevention education across Detroit’s most vulnerable communities. In her upcoming presentation, she will share insights on how harm reduction strategies like naloxone training/distribution and drug take back initiatives are saving lives across the city.

Communities across Michigan are receiving funds from recent opioid settlements that should be used to support evidence-based programs for preventing or treating opioid-related harms. The goal of this series is to share information and assist county, city, and township officials who have received settlement funding and are involved and/or interested in learning more about evidence-based practices and strategies to help remediate opioid overdoses in their communities.

PRESENTER:

• Dr. Grenaé D. Dudley, president and CEO of The Youth Connection
  

SPONSOR: This webinar is organized and hosted by the Opioid Settlement Technical Assistance Collaborative established by Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, and Wayne State University, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
