The Summit County ADM Board was honored to join students at the UAkron College of Health and Human Sciences School of Nursing yesterday evening for a campus presentation focused on student wellbeing, substance use awareness, and overdose prevention.

Prior to hearing from Dr. Beth Weinstock of BirdieLight about fentanyl awareness and lifesaving harm reduction strategies, Maxwell Warner provided a brief overview of the ADM Board’s role as the local authority for alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services in Summit County.

We were also grateful to be joined at our resource table by partners from Portage Path Behavioral Health, connecting students with additional local mental health resources.

Through collaboration, education, and access to tools such as naloxone, we can equip future healthcare professionals with the knowledge they need to respond confidently and compassionately. Thank you to Dr. Timothy Meyers and The University of Akron for hosting this important conversation.
