2017 is a year the New Day Campaign in partnership with others explore matters related to addiction in a variety of ways. We begin by taking a look at the current opioid crisis: what is it, why are we in it, and what can be done and is being done? Widening our lenses beyond our national borders, what is happening elsewhere around the world and worth considering within our community? And taking a look at a historic past, how has substance use—with an emphasis on opioids—been viewed and managed in bygone cultures and eras? Bring your stories, questions, and ideas for a primer on all-things-opioid.
