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. 🙌 https://t.co/k9r9QQyr2o

$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.

@virginia_tech #neVerforgeT We must make/take time to grieve and remember the lives lost. In their honor, we continue to fight for more mental health support and vote for policies that reduce gun violence.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Today calls on us to remember the 32 lives lost at Virginia Tech on this day 15 years ago, and to keep fighting for a future where sensible policies curb the epidemic of gun violence in the US. #VTWeRemember

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 https://t.co/2VNYFANUqN
