Description
From the organizer:
Substance use in Vermont continues to rise with tragic loss, daily. There are incredible efforts and resources dedicated to connecting those who seek help. We are grateful for everyone who fights this battle every day.
This Summit seeks to expand the awareness of resources, identify the areas of deficiency, and bring together stakeholders who normally don’t get to network. The goal is to integrate and educate on successful efforts that are working for those in crisis and expand these efforts to every corner of Vermont.
