Additionally, the use of prescribed pain medication (opioids) for nonmedical purposes can and does lead to the use of heroin. This webinar will focus on community based partnerships to assist our tribal communities assess areas of strength and opportunity to create optimal collaboration in protecting our greatest resource - our children. Tools and resource links will be provided that can be used across programs to support mutual values.
