Strengthening Families Against Opioids

Strengthening Families Against Opioids

Families Helping Families is happy to invite you to join us at one of our regional information and training days in March. We have partnered with  the Louisiana Office of Behavioral Health for additional information on the epidemic of opioids and the impact on families, communities and faith-based groups.

This presentation is exceptionally suited for anyone who wants to learn more about services for families, family members who might have individuals struggling with over use of prescription medications, street opioids and those who are concerned about how to offer referrals when situations rise up. Join us for this training day to find out what is currently on the horizon in this field.
