State to Issue Substance Abuse Grants
Gov. Hassan will unveil program in Manchester; speak at other events around the state.
Gov. Maggie Hassan will join Department of Safety Commissioner John Barthelmes, Attorney General Joe Foster, Manchester Police Chief Nick Willard and other local officials to announce two state substance abuse grants that will help support efforts to combat the heroin and opioid crisis in high-risk communities like Manchester, according to a press statement.
To strengthen the state’s efforts to combat the heroin and opioid crisis, Hassan has focused on a comprehensive approach, including working to increase treatment capacity through the reauthorization of the bipartisan New Hampshire Health Protection Program, strengthening provider training, updating prescriber practices and increasing the safe and effective use of Narcan.
The Governor will begin the day at the Deerfield Fair Opening Ceremony, celebrating the important economic and cultural contributions that the fair makes to the Granite State and presenting the state’s Columbus Day tourism forecast. The Deerfield Fair showcases local agriculture and products. For more information, visit www.deerfieldfair.com.
