DEA’s Family Summit on the Overdose Epidemic
DEA’s Family Summit on the Overdose Epidemic invites more than 80 parent or family-led non-profit organizations that DEA field offices have connections to across the country. This first-ever event will provide opportunities for DEA to share information on the scope of current drug threats, exchange ideas with these parent groups on how DEA could support them in their work, learn of their local efforts, ask them for their help with sharing the One Pill Can Kill fake pill awareness campaign in their communities, identify areas for further collaboration, and build or reinforce existing relationships and partnerships.
But we know law enforcement alone isn’t enough. That’s why DEA is holding the first-ever Family Summit on the Overdose Epidemic on June 14th and 15th in Washington, D.C. DEA has invited representatives from over 80 organizations formed mostly by parents who have experienced the profound loss of a child due to a drug overdose. These families have turned grief into resolve to prevent other families from experiencing this kind of tragedy.
This two-day event aims to create a dialogue to affect change through awareness and prevention."
