LOWVILLE- Over $54,000 in opioid settlement funds have been announced for various local organizations through the second round of the Lewis County Future Stories Fund.

The Future Stories Fund was designed to support organizations/entities of all sizes and origins in combating the effects of the opioid overdose epidemic.

The following organizations were awarded Future Stories Funds to support upstream strategies that strengthen community institutions and discourage or prevent opioid use initiation and the misuse of opioids:

  1. The Alcohol and Substance Abuse Council of Jefferson County, Inc. dba Pivot has been awarded $13,500 to host a community substance use and emerging trends summit, featuring the renowned speaker Jermain Galloway, also known as “Tall Cop”.

  4. The Lewis County Suicide Prevention Coalition has been awarded $8,536 to provide Gizmo’s Pawesome Guide to Mental Health to every third-grade student enrolled in a Lewis County school. The program offers education on feelings and emotions, trusted adults, healthy activities and coping tools.
  5. No Wrong Roads, LLC has been awarded $17,000 to create a documentary style video designed to spark meaningful conversations, first in classrooms between students and teachers, and then at home with their families, about the choices that shape their future and how to avoid the detours that opioids can create.
