National Issues Forum: What Should We Do About The Opioid Epidemic?
When: Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 6:00 PM - 8:00 PMWhere: Leonardtown Library in Leonardtown Library Meeting Room
National Issues Forums (NIF) is a nonpartisan, nationwide network of locally sponsored public forums for the consideration of public policy issues. It is rooted in the simple notion that people need to come together to reason and talk — to deliberate about common problems.
This National Issues Forum will present three options relating to the question: What Should We Do About the Opioid Epidemic? for deliberation. Each option is based on differing views about what we hold most valuable. Each represents a general direction and suggests a number of actions that can be carried out by different people or groups.
Check out a copy of the guidebook from the Library in advance, and come ready to discuss!
