Next week is Opioid Awareness week and St Cloud State University is teaming up with the National Institute on Drug Abuse to talk about the opioid epidemic.

The SCSU Recovery Community says this is the second year they are raising awareness. And to do so they are hosting a variety of events, from a panel discussion, to NARCAN training, and keynote speakers. This three day event will begin Wednesday, January 23 and run through Friday, January 25.

Some events, like NARCAN training and Ally Training, require pre-registration. Both the Keynote speakers and the panel discussion will take place in Atwood and do not require registration.
