On Monday, April 29, 2024 at 7 p.m. Pleasant Valley Winsted United Methodist Church will host a
presentation on the current opioid crisis. In the past few months our local communities have
seen an increase in overdoses in the area, and too many friends and families are losing loved
ones to addiction. Sarah Toomey, Community Outreach & Recovery Navigator at Greenwoods
Counseling & Referrals, Inc., will be presenting on the Opioid Pandemic that this country is
faced with. Greenwoods Counseling & Referral has become a leader in Litchfield County
providing education and services to those struggling with or affected by addiction. Sarah will be
presenting an overview of the services Greenwoods provides. In addition, she will present on:
What are opioids? Give a brief history of the opioid epidemic, what is happening in our county
(trends in mental health and addiction), as well as how to access Narcan, support services in our
community. There will be time for questions as well as handouts and contact information for
follow-up services if needed. Anyone from the community is welcome to attend.
