HEALING IN THE HEARTLAND: THE STORY OF SWODA WITH DENA CRAIG

In this All About Webshow, we talk to Dena Craig from the Southwestern Oklahoma Development Authority (SWODA) to discuss the incredible services they provide to communities in rural Oklahoma. SWODA is, in essence, a superhero in the fight against community barriers that contribute to limited treatment options for Substance Uses and other various issues in rural programming.

Dena is an opportunity advocate with background as a domestic violence advocate, and she discusses a bit of her personal journey into taking on such an essential role. She explains about their mobile clinic, which provides medication-assisted treatment therapy in a convenient way to those in need that allows people access to life-saving resources such as Narcan, fentanyl test strips, and counseling.

Dena also discusses the staggering number of people who still are not aware of the dangers in counterfeit drugs. Through more awareness and harm reduction, she networks with individuals and families who need help. Learn about how SWODA is making a difference in communities across rural Oklahoma, and how, most importantly, we can all do our part to help loved ones get the help and support they need; you don't want to miss this enlightening discussion!
