Opioids, Rural Communities and 4-H

aml84

Dear Colleagues,


It was great to see many of you at 4-H Career Explorations! Hoping your summer is going well with Camps, County Fairs, and 4-H adventures of all kinds. Sharing an opportunity to explore something new that is highly relevant in many of our communities, and a potential collaborator and support for CCE and 4-H.


Please see the informational flyer and registration link for an opportunity to engage with the Northeast and Caribbean Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Center (NeC-ROTAC) in a virtual listening session on August 15. I recently had an opportunity to engage with this dynamic team and learn about their mission to develop and disseminates training and technical assistance to communities addressing opioid, stimulant, and other substance use disorders affecting rural communities. As part of this effort, the NeC-ROTAC has been working in close partnership with CCE to identify needs and establish priorities pertaining to behavioral health in agricultural communities. This listening session will explore how NeC-ROTAC resources could be leveraged to enhance both statewide and local 4-H objectives.


Join us if you can and see you at the State Fair!


Andy Turner

NYS 4-H Director

Land Acknowledgement

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' are members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' people, past and present, to these lands and waters.

This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ' leadership. Learn more
