Opioid Abatement Funding Advisory Board · 2026-06-08 · agenda_item

The Opioid Abatement Funding Advisory Board in Escambia County is reviewing potential uses for opioid abatement funds. One area of focus is addressing the needs of pregnant or parenting women and their families, including babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome. This includes funding for primary prevention programs and strategies designed to prevent drug use. These programs may involve family and youth initiatives promoting healthy behaviors, adult education, and public awareness campaigns. The board is currently in the review stage, meaning opportunities for service providers are early. This project could involve the development and implementation of educational materials, community outreach programs, and support services. Businesses specializing in public health, social services, education, and marketing could find opportunities to contribute to these initiatives.
