Topic: Guest Speakers
VOID: Victims of Illicit Drugs
APRIL WEBINAR GUEST SPEAKERS: VOID
VOID was formed to bring to the public’s attention, through education, awareness and legislative advocacy, the immediate danger of sudden death associated with the use of illicit drugs, in particular FENTANYL, and other emerging synthetic analogs. This will be accomplished through the creation of a network of private, state and national governmental organizations, working together, to provide knowledge, preventive tools, and proposed legislation necessary to reduce the number of deaths occurring through this ever-increasing scourge confronting our society. We will speak on behalf of our loved ones, who can no longer speak for themselves.

ACCESS POINTS FOR MAT AND ADDICTION TREATMENT
Approximately 118,000 people enroll in DUI programs each year. Prior to DUI MAT, there were no established mechanisms in place to identify, assess, refer, and manage OUD and Poly SUD in DUI treatment programs.

The DUI MAT Project provides the framework to optimize DUI Programs to become new and effective access points for MAT and other treatment modalities.

PREVENTION AND AWARENESS DAY
This day will be observed every year on August 21, beginning in 2022.
Affected families throughout the United States are warning the public about the emergent dangers of illicit fentanyl. Advocates for victims of illicit fentanyl poisoning have been sounding the alarm and pleading for a whole of government response to address this deadly epidemic. As the death toll rises and more families grieve, advocates and affected family members are taking initiative where our government is failing to act.

Illicit Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin. Drug cartels make and supply deadly illicit fentanyl either as a standalone substance, as an additive laced in other dangerous street drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, or as substitutes for these drugs.

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
In 2020, Congress designated the new 988 dialing code to be operated through the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. SAMHSA sees 988 as a first step towards a transformed crisis care system in America.

988 is more than just an easy-to-remember number—it’s a direct connection to compassionate, accessible care and support for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress – whether that is thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.
