Community Drug Addiction Program- Strategic Plan

We did not have a guest speaker this week.  Rather, Andy Grief facilitated a strategic planning session following last week’s brainstorming session.  The goal was for the Club to reach a consensus about how to devote our time and financial resources to combat the heroin epidemic that is plaguing our communities.  We spent the first part of the meeting clarifying the brainstorming ideas coming out of last week’s meeting.  Next we grouped these ideas into common themes.  Then we identified the themes namely, the ideas focused on

 

1. Enforcement/Treatment;

2. Awareness/Education; and

3. Secondary/Tertiary Prevention. 

 

Finally, after discussion and sharing personal stories we voted and selected awareness and education as the focus of our group’s efforts.
