Want to know more about your power as a citizen? If so, join us for our second panel in a four-part series to discuss ways we can work together to address the opioid crisis.
Featured panelists for “Opioids” include Robin Bozian, project managing attorney with Southeastern Ohio Legal Services in Athens, Rick Massatti, chief of addiction treatment at Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and Vanessa Perkins, who says she found hope after connecting with fellow survivors of human trafficking and addiction through her CATCH (Changing Actions to Change Habits) Court program in Franklin County.
Lucia Walinchus, who serves as executive director of Eye on Ohio, a nonpartisan and nonprofit news outlet focused on promoting public good and seeking solutions, will moderate the series.
Other panels explore themes like “How Your Government Works,” and “How Your Courts Work,” with specific panels looking at the topics of checks and balances, offender reentry, and marijuana laws. We'd be happy to have you join us!
