NORWICH – The SUNY Morrisville Human Services Institute will present a community forum on the opioid crisis followed by Narcan training, both of which are free and open to the public, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday on the Norwich Campus.

"This may save someone else's life," said one of the organizers of the forum, SUNY Morrisville student and Human Services major, Gannon Rockwell. "Living in a small community we tend to feel like we are sheltered from the opioid epidemic; the reality is that we aren't."

The forum will take place in the community room, #132A and B of Follett Hall on the SUNY Morrisville Norwich Campus. Light refreshments will be served at 1 p.m., before the student organizers of the forum present statistics and introduce six panelists who will be speaking during the forum.

The community forum is being organized by four students: Rockwell, SUNY Morrisville Nursing major Mariah Nguyen, and Oxford High School and SUNY Morrisville students Genevieve Gorman and Allison Paster.
