The growing epidemic of opioids has been declared a national emergency. Many experts say there is no immediate end in sight for this epidemic. It is critical that courts and communities are properly resourced and educated and collaborate to address this public health crisis.

A case that comes before a juvenile or family court judge is never as simple as it appears and there is never one solution for the children and families involved in the justice system. Sharing real stories from the bench and discussing the families that come before them, the panel of judges will present a case scenario and video clips involving children and families impacted by opioid abuse and how through judicial leadership and with specialized judicial education and resources the family is on the road to recovery.
