This is the fourth in the series about organizations that offer help to the public that attended the National Night Out festivities at Willis Tucker Park on August 6, 2019.
As part of Snohomish County’s response to the county’s the opioid epidemic, the Snohomish Health District set up a web site to educate the public about opioids and heroin and provide a listing of treatment centers in Snohomish County.
The Health District gives talks to various groups about opioids/heroin and it gives naloxone (Narcan) training. It also works with the Snohomish County Multi-Agency Coordination Group which is the county’s organization that coordinates efforts to end the opioid epidemic. Other members of the group include South Snohomish County Fire and Rescue, Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management, Snohomish County Human Services, the Snohomish County Executive’s Office, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and the Everett Police Department.
