Right now, we are looking for Legislators to Co-Author the Bill.
We are dedicated to working collaboratively with other states that have implemented this law. We are also committed to working with Angel Families to develop and implement a comprehensive, evidence-based and culturally relevant opioid prevention and education program.
By prioritizing collaboration, community engagement, and the empowerment of those most affected by the opioid crisis, we can create a brighter future for California and our country.
There is a profound impact of firsthand stories delivered by Angel Families at school assemblies and the value they add to a school program. The loss of a child devastates more than just one life; it affects all those connected to that lost precious life. By including Angel Families in our initiative, we give them and their lost child a voice, which has proven to be of great value to the families impacted by this horrific crisis.
It is obvious that lack of awareness and understanding, limited resources and funding, along with stigma and misconceptions have helped escalate this problem. To address this opioid crisis holistically, we need to partner with healthcare providers who specialize in evidence-based treatment and recovery support. This will ensure timely and effective interventions for those struggling with addiction, which will maximize recovery chances and long-term well-being.
Addressing the opioid crises requires a collaborative effort that extends beyond the classrooms. Effective solutions need to engage parents, families and community partners in prevention and educational efforts. As well, it is important to partner with organizations that specialize in substance abuse prevention and treatment.
The time is now, the need is urgent and for those of us who are not part of the solution, are indeed part of the problem.
