LSC highlights opioid task force and Kentucky's collaborative recovery efforts
Summary
John Levy said LSC's opioid task force (2018'—9) convened experts nationwide and that Kentucky has developed a cross-sector approach to recovery that includes legal services as a core element.
Levy described LSC's opioid task force, saying it convened experts in 2018 and 2019 to "envision a collaborative path forward to addressing this public health crisis and its rippling effects." He credited Kentucky grantees and board members for raising alarm early and helping shape LSC's response.
Levy praised Kentucky as a leader in recovery work that brings together health care, the courts, law enforcement, human services and the private sector. He emphasized that legal services must be part of comprehensive recovery strategies to address the crisis's legal and social consequences.
