National Association of Counties
As our nation searches for answers to the opioid epidemic, few are better-positioned than county leaders to lead the way. The opioid epidemic has revealed our vulnerability to addiction, but has also prompted innovative and impactful responses from local leaders throughout the country, and continued leadership from the local level is a necessary part of a successful national response to this epidemic. During this session, attendees will discuss the opioid epidemic with an expert panel of local and national leaders, exploring common challenges and effective strategies for stemming the tide of overdoses and fatalities. The session will also feature an exhibit of solutions related to the opioid epidemic, enabling attendees to learn about effective solutions that can be replicated in their communities.
