In an effort to continue combatting the effects of the nation's worsening opioid epidemic whilst in the midst of a global pandemic the CCHD is pleased to launch our Virtual Family & Friends Support Group.

Kicking off, Tuesday, February 23, 2021, the Central Connecticut Health District invites you to attend the monthly virtual F&FSG the last Tuesday of every month from 7 to 8 pm on Zoom.

Employing an individualized, needs-tailored approach toward family & friends of loved ones struggling with addiction from an opioid use disorder, our virtual support group aims to feature an innovative rotation of thematic mini-presentation, testimonial panels, supportive group discussions/workshops and community trainings (Narcan/Suicide Awareness), all guided through our participation driven curriculum.
