The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on “Combating Youth Overdoses Through Strong Partnerships: Arizona’s Statewide Fentanyl Awareness Initiative” Thursday, July 24, from 2 to 3:15 p.m. via Zoom.
With the number of youth overdoses and deaths continuing to climb during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Arizona Administration Office of the Courts (AOC) partnered with the Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) and initiated the statewide Juvenile Justice Fentanyl Awareness Training Project in 2022 to prevent and reduce youth fentanyl overdoses and deaths.
Training focused on life-saving information for youth and parents about the risks of fentanyl, the importance of naloxone and its use, and Arizona’s Good Samaritan law.
Speakers will discuss the development of their training project’s customizable toolkit which includes individual curriculums for youth and parents.
Panelists will include:
• Joseph Kelroy, juvenile justice services division director, Arizona Supreme Court
• Tiffany Rankin, detention services supervisor, Yuma County Juvenile Justice Center
• Steve Selover, program manager, Arizona Supreme Court
Attendees will learn about a learning collaborative launching this fall for jurisdictions interested in developing similar awareness initiatives at the local or state level, focused on reducing and preventing youth substance use, overdoses, and deaths.
