@memesfarmer @KaseyClabornPhD @MaazAmjad13 @SScottGraham_ @UTexasResearch I’m sorry that’s the perception. I am still working to get TxCOPE going again. We received a small amount of funding to keep it active through end of Jan. All of the HR gear has been given to Communities for Recovery who is giving it out. I’m open to ideas to other funding source

The opioid epidemic is claiming an increasing number of lives each year. In Texas, @UTAustin researchers @KaseyClabornPhD & Suzannah Creech are building tools to illuminate the poorly understood problem & to support those who have been working in the dark. https://t.co/tcoM5Fwuiq

[UT Social Work @UT_SocialWork]

Have you read his book?!?! It’s a great option for your summer reading list!
