Sterling Bryant knew there was a place for him when he learned about the Recovery Community’s coffee bike at #VirginiaTech. 🧡 Now, he’s working with @HokieWellness and the Recovery Community to extend a similar welcome to students across the region. 🙌 vtx.vt.edu/articles/2022/09/…

$530 million from opioid settlements is on its way to Virginia localities for funding prevention and recovery. Our delegate @JasonBallardVA serves on the Va Opioid Abatement Authority, which will oversee distribution of about half of the available funds. roanoke.com/opinion/columnis… – at Blacksburg, VA

Woot!!! Great news, everyone! You helped make it happen. The Virginia General Assembly’s budget proposal includes funding for a feasibility study to transform Catawba Hospital to include recovery services. The @roanoke_rambler reports (🧵) roanokerambler.com/ramblings…

Access to life-saving medically assisted treatment (MAT) is still limited across SWVA and nationwide. With hard to navigate regulations and inconsistency among pharmacies, there’s a need for a comprehensive care facility for SUD recovery more than ever virginiamercury.com/2022/04/…

BREAKING: we now have 400 people signed up to blockade the Grant Town Power Plant - which exclusively burns Joe Manchin’s coal. But we need to recruit 100s more for the blockade to hold. Can you RT and follow along to make that happen?

Sometimes, when I'm writing an article, I'll write it as badly as possible first (including swear words and run-on sentences) and then edit the heck out of it to make it good again, just to get myself to start writing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This will lead to the death of trans youth. Period. Medical and mental health providers know this and have said this and they still do not care. Almost as if it is the point. This is not hyperbole - this is actual violence.
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers. He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

If there was ever a time to help end the opioid crisis, it’s now. Click on the link in our bio to email your Virginia senator about why they should vote YES on HB105 to bring comprehensive SUD treatment to SWVA and the entire state
