Check out the PCSS Twitter Campaign: #ChooseToTreat
|
|
We are raising our voices to reach clinicians across the country and let them know about the free trainings and resources we offer at no cost to prevent, identify and treat opioid use disorder.
We are launching this four-week campaign, "Choose To Treat" to help reduce stigma associated with opioid use disorder and to promote PCSS's vast array of free resources and trainings. Make sure to follow
@PCSSProjects
on Twitter and feel free to retweet or add to the conversation.
If every primary care provider was trained how to prevent, identify and treat opioid use disorder, we could make a significant impact on this public health crisis. Be a part of the solution.
