The Northeast and Caribbean Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Center is participating in Salem Health & Wellness Foundations’ Community Conversation on April 30th via Zoom.

Please join us for the April Community Conversation, which explores the broader context of substance use and young parents in Salem County. With a focus on families, this virtual conversation aims to unpack Salem County’s maternal and family health outcomes and substance use among young parents while promoting strength-based protective factors. Featuring a panel with expertise in rural substance use, family and child welfare, and perinatal considerations in South Jersey, this event will provide an overview of substance use and rural health in Salem County and family considerations of substance use and social drivers of health.

This conversation will feature stakeholders from across the state of New Jersey, including: Salem Health and Wellness Foundation, Rutgers University School of Social Work, Northeast and Caribbean Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Center, Montclair State University Department of Social Work and Child Advocacy, Southern New Jersey Perinatal Cooperative, and Acenda Integrated Health.
