Opioid Summit
Be the Change—Join the Fight Against the Opioid Crisis.
Every single day, someone in Shelby County loses their life to an opioid overdose. This epidemic is not just a statistic—it’s a devastating reality affecting our families, friends, and communities. Join us for a powerful, solution-driven conference where local experts will unpack the root causes of the opioid crisis, share evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies, and present sustainable, long-term solutions. Together, we can build a safer, healthier Shelby County.
