DHS Secretary-designee Highlights Over $18 Million in Grants at Opioids, Stimulants, and Trauma Summit?

"?Funding comes from opioid settlement funds and State Opioid Response grants?"

Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary-designee Kirsten Johnson took the stage at the annual Opioids, Stimulant, and Trauma Summit in Wisconsin Dells today to highlight several grant awards totaling nearly $18 million to tribal nations and local health agencies and other partners to address opioid and other substance use disorders affecting Wisconsinites.

Funding for these grants comes from the National Prescription Opiate Litigation settlement, as well as the State Opioid Response funds.

?Our partners know their communities best and know how to address substance use disorder right where they are,? Johnson said. ?They have innovative, evidence-based approaches to offer harm reduction, prevention, treatment, and recovery services to people who need them the most.???
