Please join the Justice Clearinghouse on June 16 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET for the Local Overdose Fatality Review Teams webinar. This webinar will focus on the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s (DHMH) efforts to apply the process of case review to drug and alcohol overdose deaths through the formation of multidisciplinary teams coordinated by local health departments. Case review provides an interesting lens through which to better understand causes of death and unique trends and to determine innovative ways to prevent future similar deaths. During the webinar, presenters will discuss the origin of the program, the implementation process, and notable outcomes.
This webinar will include presentations from the following presenters:
- Michael Baier is the Overdose Prevention Director at DHMH, Behavioral Health Administration where he oversees multiple programs and initiatives focused on reducing overdose deaths and preventing prescription drug misuse and addiction.
- Erin Haas serves as the Local Programs Manager in the Overdose Prevention Office at the DHMH, Behavioral Health Administration where she implements the Overdose Response Program, provides technical assistance to the local Overdose Fatality Review Teams, and supports local health departments with overdose prevention strategic planning efforts.
- Karl Webner currently serves as the Overdose Prevention Coordinator for the Cecil County Health Department. Mr. Webner has spent the majority of his career as a direct provider of substance abuse treatment services in both residential and outpatient settings.
