Nursing Grand Rounds - Not My Child: A Candid Conversation About the Heroin Epidemic Raging in Our Community
In Anne Arundel County, there is a heroin overdose every day. Each week, there is another fatality related to heroin use, which has increased 63% over the past decade. As healthcare providers, how do we respond? What do we need to know to help our community and protect our families? Join us to learn more about the abuse of prescription drugs and the escalation of heroin use in our community and to hear from a panel of experts, including:
• a parent who lost a child to a heroin overdose
• a community member who is currently in recovery for heroin use
• Anne Arundel County Police and Fire Departments
• Anne Arundel County Department of Health
• Mandy Larkins, Supervisor, Prevention Education & Family Wellness, Pathways
• Wes Adams, Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney
All employees are welcome.
