Over 150 people attended Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr’s Statewide Opioid Task Force meeting at Georgia State University yesterday.
It was a big day for Georgia's recovery community.
Thank you to Governor Brian Kemp for proclaiming October “Substance Use Prevention Month” in Georgia. Attorney General Chris Carr spoke about kratom, opioids, fentanyl, and trafficking, and about the need to support peers, families, and professionals.
Commissioner Kevin Tanner of Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and Cammie Wolf Rice of the CWC Alliance also delivered remarks.
Peers, families, clinicians, and leaders from education, faith, law enforcement, government, and business filled the room.
Together we affirmed that prevention, treatment, and recovery work as one to save lives, restore families, and strengthen communities across Georgia.
People made connections, broke down silos, and pushed back on stigma.
Thank you, Attorney General Chris Carr, for your leadership.
