Daniel and Rowland participate in Colorado Opioid Abatement Conference to help find solutions

October 3, 2024

Commissioners Bobbie Daniel and Janet Rowland, Sheriff’s Office Division Chief Henry Stoffel, and Mesa County Behavioral Health team joined Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and other Colorado leaders in Loveland on Monday, Sept. 30, for the 3rd Colorado Opioid Abatement Conference.

The interactive conference provided a comprehensive platform to discuss best practices for tackling the opioid crisis. It offered in-depth presentations about making data-driven decisions on distribution of opioid settlement funds, ways to access additional state and national resources, building programs that can be sustainable, advancing the peer support network, and new strategies in law enforcement.  The conference also included a panel of parents who lost adult children to accidental opioid overdose. Their messages about how we could better support families and prevent overdose were very compelling. 

By fostering these critical conversations, the conference empowered attendees to share knowledge, coordinate resources, and develop actionable solutions to reduce opioid-related deaths.
