Kentuckians are invited to virtual June town-hall meetings on helping families with complications from substance use

Kentuckians with ideas to improve outcomes for children placed in foster care because of substance use complications will get the chance to share them during a series of town halls this June, the Administrative Office of the Courts announced Wednesday.

Registration is required for the four virtual town halls, which Citizen Foster Care Review Boards are hosting on June 3, 5, 11 and 14.

“Community input is vital to identifying needs in each area of the state,” the AOC said in the release. “Due to confidentiality, specific cases will not be discussed.”

The town halls will seek to answer the following questions, and findings will be reported back to the Citizen Foster Care Review Board:
  •  Do families and children in your community have equitable and timely access to substance use disorder assessment and treatment services?
  • What are the barriers to accessing treatment for substance use disorder?
  • What solutions could be identified to remedy barriers to access and treatment and lead to resilience and recovery?
The four town hall dates and locations are as follows:
