Community Conversation: the Opioid Epidemic
Thursday, Setpember 12th 6pm
In the 1990’s, Big Pharma infiltrated the medical community, convincing doctors that it was evidence-based practice to prescribe opioids liberally for the treatment of minor and chronic pain conditions. Doctors were led to believe that new drugs like Oxycontin came without the risk of addiction and were given incentives for prescribing. According to the CDC, by 2015, enough pills were being prescribed for every American to be medicated around the clock for three straight weeks. Based on studies, this overprescribing led to a surge in opioid addiction
North Country Health Consortium will present an overview of this important issue, followed by a discussion of reactions and solutions.
Harm reduction kits will be available to take home.

August’s book is Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.
Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. [Amazon]
