Dear Colleagues In Service,

Senator Todd Pillion and Delegate Cia Price are duly elected
representatives in the State of Virginia's General Assembly who share

**barrier crimes laws are doing little to help Virginia fight the opioid
epidemic and may be actively contributing to it by reducing the number
of people qualified to serve as substance use counselors, which would
give them a purpose and a job.**

Studies have shown peer-to-peer counseling is the most successful form
of substance counseling and...VISIT HERE TO READ ENTIRE ARTICLE
