HOPE Council Interagency Coordination Survey Responses

During the 2017 Regular Legislative Session, Act 88 established the Advisory Council on Heroin and Opioid Prevention and Education (HOPE). The Council’s purpose is to create an Interagency Heroin and Opioid Coordination Plan, coordinate parish-level data on opioid overdoses and usage of overdose-reversal medication (Naloxone), and coordinate a central online location to disseminate information and resources, including the Interagency Heroin and Opioid Coordination Plan. Two sub-committees were formed to address this body of work: a Data Workgroup, and an Interagency Coordination Plan Workgroup.

The objective of the Interagency Coordination Plan Workgroup is to coordinate and organize existing initiatives and resources to assist in developing a statewide coordination plan. We asked for participation in a survey, so we may gather information on heroin and opioid initiatives taking place within your organization since July 1, 2016 (State Fiscal Year 2017) and the impacts of these initiatives. Below are the results of the survey: 

• By Initiative
• By Agency
  • State Agency
  • Courts
  • Police
  • Local Governing Entities (LGEs)
  • Hospice
  • Other
