Hoarding can pose serious health risks in a home. Family and community members play a part in identifying the signs of hoarding and engaging the affected persons in the early stages so that they can receive appropriate support throughout the decluttering process.

If you suspect someone you care about has a hoarding issue, contact our agency and/or a mental health professional.

If you have any questions or want to schedule an assessment, contact your local public health office.

Cannabis Substance Use Prevention Fact of the Week!🤩

Fact: Opioids have claimed more lives than WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam War combined!🤯

Opioids are a highly addictive type of pain medication. Fentanyl is a type of opioid that can cause overdose due to its high potency. It is often laced with other drugs such as opioids, methamphetamine, co***ne, and more. Never take anything from a stranger or even someone you know if you are not sure what it is. If someone is experiencing an overdose, call 911 and see if you can find Naloxone to reverse it. Naloxone Education is given to the public and can be provided by local public health.
