US: Absences, Trauma, and Orphaned Children: How the Opioid Crisis Is Ravaging Schools (Requires free registration)
Education Week – November 20, 2017
We worked closely with a lot of community agencies, and the department of social services. In some cases, you had social workers who would work with the families and try to help the parents get help for the addiction issues. About that time, the sheriff became very involved in doing community forums and educating the general population about what addiction is. It’s one of the things that I think people did not understand.
