  • "You Are Worthy" Bags

    The Hanover Opioid Taskforce was formed to address critical issues and emerging trends related to opioids, stimulants, and other substances. One of the ongoing projects that came from this group was the development of the 'You Are Worthy' bags. These bags are filled with mental health and substance use resources. In collaboration with the Community Services Board, Ashland Police Department, Hanover Sheriff's Office, and Hanover Fire/EMS these bags are given out when they respond to an emergency.

    If you are interested in getting involved please fill out our coalition member application for more information.
