Join us on Wednesday, April 17 at the Arts & Heritage Center in Overland Park for Johnson County Prevention and Recovery Coalition’s first-ever Opioid Symposium.

The goal of the symposium is to bring the community together and spark the next steps in the fight against the opioid crisis in Johnson County. You’ll learn more about the work being done and resources available to prevent opioid misuse in the community, as well as ways you can take action yourself.

Speakers at the symposium will include:

• Julinne Kemp, Forensic Scientist Supervisor, Johnson County Sheriff's Office Crime Lab
• Libby Davis, Founder, Keepin' Clean for Coop
• Johnson County Medical Examiner's Office
• Sierra Wright, Community Prevention Manager, Johnson County Mental Health Center

Overflow, a local creative agency, will also share the new social norms campaign—You Never Know—combatting opioid and fentanyl use among adolescents and young adults in Johnson County.

Continental breakfast, light snacks and refreshments provided.
