An opioid crisis is sweeping the nation and a town hall meeting tomorrow will shed light on how it’s affecting Mississippi. It will be at the Tommy Dulaney Center and starts at 6:30 p.m. Several state agencies are hosting the event, including the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Mental Health, and the Mississippi offices of the FBI. Representatives from those agencies and local officials will discuss what the community can do to address the growing trend of opioid abuse.
