Fall River Substance Abuse
Grant Coordinator Michael Aguiar and Stanley
Street Treatment and Resources CEO Nancy Paull invited a number of
people to a four-hour session held at Blount
Fine Food headquarters on May 12, 2017. This initiative was designed
to develop a substance abuse strategic plan for the City of Fall River.
"We have developed
many plans for different grants targeting substance use over the years but
have not worked on an overall plan inclusive of all the existing efforts
many different groups and organizations are working on," stated
Aguiar. Richard H. Dougherty of DMA
Health Strategies and BasicNeeds US, Inc., who has led strategic
planning engagement on substance abuse prevention with the City of Boston,
was invited to lead the planning process. Click
