Hosted by the ONTRACK! Coalition to address issues that happen in our community, the event will consist of several webinars available for viewing, and also have experts on hand to answer questions. The event will also have a TikTok challenge and will run end on April 24 to coincide with National Drug Take Back Day.
Dug Takes Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and health issue.
