Perinatal Substance Use Impacts to Child Development and Prevention in Rural Counties
This week I was really honored to be among the presenters and spoke on the subject of Fentanyl, Xylazine, and Nitazene Opioid impact in rural counties. While the challenge is daunting, this collaboration which included UCLA, CDPH and county government partners, Marshall Hospital, and our NGO and community stakeholders provided much to consider. Special thanks to Donna Fettig, RN for her organizational efforts and advocacy.
It was truly wonderful to hear about so many successful ventures and the varied techniques to address this persisting problem. With a focus on intervention, referral, outreach, education and medically assisted therapy, this was an opportunity to take a more comprehensive look at what is effective in resource limited environments.
