This is the third session in a comprehensive 4-part series that is designed to strengthen Nevada’s approach to opioid and other substance use disorders, with special emphasis on maternal health and family systems. The series is intended to provide participants with data, tools, and real-world perspectives to improve prevention, treatment, and recovery supports across the lifespan.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will:
- Understand legal frameworks affecting families impacted by opioid use, including child welfare, family court, and reentry systems.
- Explore equity-centered diversion programs and community-based alternatives to incarceration.
- Recognize how advocacy and policy can shape more equitable outcomes for families in crisis.
