Counties grappling with the opioid epidemic can learn more on how
to address this crisis in an upcoming series of
virtual town halls on the opioid epidemic from NACo this
June. Each virtual town hall will have a different focus:
June 9: Prevention and Education
June 16: Treatment
June 30: Public Safety
The town halls will present information from national experts as
well as county appointees of the
National City-County Task Force on the Opioid Epidemic. The
expert speakers at the virtual town halls include representatives
from the National Association of City and County Health
Officials, the National Association of County Behavioral Health
and Developmental Disability Directors, the American Medical
Association, the National District Attorneys Association, and
Major County Sheriffs’ Association.
The National City-County Task Force was jointly convened in March
by NACo and the National League of Cities. Kern County Supervisor
Leticia Perez, who currently serves as CSAC Second Vice
President, also serves as a member of the Task Force.
