The Johnson County Prevention and Recovery Coalition was formed in March of 2022 when a group of community stakeholders came together to tackle the concerning trend of opioid and fentanyl misuse and death in our community. The coalition has grown to include members from diverse sectors including healthcare providers, school professionals, first responders, community advocates, representatives from the treatment and recovery community, along with many more.
Over the past two years, the coalition has produced a community assessment report to assess local needs and develop work priorities, created a leadership team, formed workgroups to address community needs and coalition priorities, and identified a mission and vision for the coalition.
The goal of this newsletter is to keep coalition members connected to what’s happening in the community and the coalition, whether that’s information about upcoming meetings and events, ways you can contribute to the coalition’s workgroups, or action steps you can take to help advance the coalition’s mission.
Our Mission:
Creating education, prevention, harm reduction, treatment and solutions for people of all ages to reduce substance use and overdose deaths in Johnson County.
