The Bureau of Justice Assistance, in collaboration with the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Program team, invites you to this no cost webinar on February 20, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. ET. This webinar will highlight the Massachusetts Moms Do Care Project (MDCP), which provides an innovative and multipronged approach to supporting pregnant and parenting women who abuse opioids. 

Core components of the program include:    

On January 31, newly sworn-in White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) Director Jim Carroll released the Administration’s National Drug Control Strategy, which outlines President Donald Trump’s priorities for addressing the challenges of drug trafficking and substance abuse, especially as related to the nationwide opioid epidemic.

The National Reentry Resource Center (NRRC) recently released the fact sheet “Best Practices for Successful Reentry for People Who Have Opioid Addictions,” which contains 10 recommendations to help people with opioid addictions obtain pre- and post-release treatment, as well as informed supervision, during the reentry process.

Upon expressions of interest from neighboring tribes, including the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Indians, the Bay Mills Indian Community, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, the training was expanded to a regional training to serve the northern Michigan-region of tribes.
