FOCUS GROUPS NEEDED: Opioid Abatement Funds

Focus Groups

On July 21, 2021, AG Healey announced a $26 billion resolution with opioid distributors and Johnson & Johnson, which will provide more than $500 million to the Commonwealth and its cities and towns for prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery across Massachusetts. Funds from these settlements began flowing into Massachusetts in June 2022"

I would like to assess what our community here in Rehoboth thinks a good use of the Opioid Settlement funds would be in best supporting persons and families affected by this crisis. To that end, I'd like to begin hosting focus groups for the various groups affected by the opioid crisis, including with those recovering from opioid addiction, parents of persons affected by opioid addiction and families affected by an opioid addiction. The groups will begin to meet in mid-February. If you are interested in participating please reach out to me at:

Thank you in advance for your help in identifying how best to serve our community.
