Date & Time: Thursday, November 21, 2019 at 1:30 PM
Location: 800 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92802
Speaker: Harry Nelson

Each day in the United States, the equivalent of four school buses filled to capacity die from opioid overdose. This leaves mothers without their children, children without their parents, and family members devastated.

Join us at our 2nd Annual California Community Opioid Conference, where we come together in unity for collaboration, community, opportunity, awareness, teaching, learning, and sharing.

Presentation Topics:

• Define where opioid crisis response to date has been effective, and where gaps remain in addressing critical needs.
• Explore the tensions and lines of conflict in distinct perspectives on solutions and priorities in reducing the number of overdose deaths and SUDs and developing effective addiction treatment and pain management resources.
• Recognize the needs and language to change the conversation around the opioid crisis from reactive to proactive.
