An update from Hampshire HOPE:
With the national rising rates of opioid overdose and death by suicide, Hampshire HOPE has committed to a deeper understanding of these issues in our community over the past year. In the past year, we held a full coalition meeting on the topic, two Question, Persuade, Refer trainings, and dedicated a Hampshire HOPE Daily Hampshire Gazette column for this topic.
Please join colleagues across the state for this free, virtual conference in May.
