Stories about drug overdoses have been all over the news, so it probably won’t come as a shock: Ohio leads the nation in opioid overdose deaths. But why Ohio? And what happens next? Sinclair College, Antioch University, and ThinkTV are proud to present this innovative and unique 2-day event, focused on bringing a new perspective to the opioid crisis sweeping our nation.
Join us on November 2 and 3 for keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and a 2-part master class to increase your understanding of the epidemic and help bring about change! This event is free and open to the public, and registration for each day is required. CEUs are available.
Antioch University, Sinclair Community College and ThinkTV are collaborating to produce an event that will focus on bringing together a broad spectrum of stakeholders and creating an opportunity for these individuals and communities to tackle one of the most complex critical issues facing our democracy – the opioid crisis.
This event - Creating a Narrative for Change: The Opioid Crisis, is anticipated to be of interest to the medical and recovery communities, insurers, government officials, legal and law enforcement communities, students, recovering addicts and their families, and community members.
Parking is available in Lot C and A (overflow). Click here for driving directions and a parking map.
