Spotlight PA is covering Pennsylvania’s drug addiction crisis, its impact on children and families, and the potential to use opioid settlement funds to address associated problems. To help inform its coverage, the publication is seeking stories about how the opioid epidemic and addiction has affected Pennsylvanians, including frontline perspectives from healthcare workers, child welfare workers, counselors, first responders, and others addressing these issues regularly.

More information, including a form for submitting responses, can be found on Spotlight PA’s website.

At 12:00pm Thursday, Sept. 9, Spotlight PA is hosting a panel on oversight of the drug and alcohol treatment system. The discussion is an extension of Spotlight’s reporting on the Department of Drug and Alcohol Program’s regulation of the system. Jason Snyder, Director of RCPA’s Drug and Alcohol Division, will participate on the panel. Others include:

  • Spotlight PA investigative reporter Ed Mahon;
  • Kaiser Health News correspondent Aneri Pattani;
  • Opioid Crisis Action Network board member Sharon White; and
  • Frank Greenagel, adjunct professor at the Rutgers School of Social Work, instructor at the Center of Alcohol Studies, and recovery supervisor at Prevention Links.
