Guilford Vol. XXVIII Iss. 23
Town Directs Opioid Settlement to Education, Outreach By Aaron Rubin Staff Writer
The Town of Guilford has received another round of opioid settlement funds for this year, with a total amount of $17,528 directed towards Guilford Youth and Family Services (GY&FS) to continue its regional prevention and education efforts in order to combat the national opioid epidemic. GY&FS has engaged in public awareness efforts surrounding the opioid epidemic in
previous years through its partnerships with local organizations such as the Guilford Free Library and East Shore District Health, as well as through advertising with its own collaborative aspects. An example of the latter includes the purchasing of billboards on Route 1 to promote the statewide You Think You Know CT campaign. “You Think You Know CT is an educational campaign to raise awareness of counterfeit drugs causing overdose deaths in the
state of Connecticut,” said Karolin Regan, program director at GY&FS. “This campaign shares information that fake pills are causing overdose deaths in people of all ages around the country. If you didn’t get your medication from a retail pharmacy and if it’s not prescribed for you, you can’t be sure it’s safe.” This year, GY&FS will continue See Town page 12
