WA Tribal Opioid Fentanyl Summit – Community and family breakout session

The Washington State Tribal Opioid Fentanyl Summit Community and Family Breakout Session provided an overview of the current services offered to families. The focus was on how collaboration with Tribes can aid families with addressing the adversity they face when seeking out their respective service needs. That we can address the disproportionate number of tribal member overdoses and deaths related to opioids and fentanyl by increasing our engagement with the community.

Participants learned from one another the gaps in needed services and developed an action plan for consideration by the Tribal Chairs and Governor.

This session was co-facilitated by Jamestown S’Klallam Vice Chair Loni Greninger, DCYF Secretary Ross Hunter, DSHS Secretary Jilma Meneses, and DOC Secretary Cheryl Strange.
