MAYOR WALSH PRESENTS ON BOSTON'S RESPONSE TO OPIOID EPIDEMIC AT U.S. CONFERENCE OF MAYORS

MAYOR WALSH PRESENTS ON BOSTON'S RESPONSE TO OPIOID EPIDEMIC AT U.S. CONFERENCE OF MAYORS
 

BOSTON - Sunday, June 25, 2017- Mayor Martin J. Walsh today guided mayors around the country in innovative approaches to the national opioid epidemic at this weekend's 85th US Conference of Mayors being held in Miami Beach, FL.


At the conference today, Mayor Walsh presented the "Actions to Address Substance Use Disorders in America's Cities" toolkit to mayors and policymakers. The toolkit created by Boston's Mayor's Office of Recovery Services, provides resources, recommendations, policies, and program solutions to help mayors respond locally to the devastating impacts of the national opioid.

As chairman of the conference's Substance Abuse, Prevention and Recovery Services task force, Mayor Walsh also learned how to issue Narcan® (naloxone) and share examples from much of the nation-leading work that the City of Boston has undertaken to address the opioid crisis, dating back to 1978 when Boston EMS paramedics first began administering the overdose reversal drug.

"Given the gridlock in Washington, it is crucial for municipal leaders to drive this issue forward. We must be a strong voice for those who are struggling," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "Together with our state, federal, non-profit and private sector partners, we have begun implementing solutions that are making a real difference in the lives of those battling addiction."

Addressing the epidemic of addiction has been one of Mayor Walsh's top priorities, which led him to create the first-ever municipal-based Mayor's Office of Recovery Services in 2015. Since then, Boston has more than doubled staff at the City's access to care program, created the City's first 24/7 recovery support hotline through 311, and added a street outreach team in heavily impacted areas.

The City has long been a leader in Narcan® use and overdose prevention. The city's health department, the BPHC, began offering civilian trainings in overdose prevention and Narcan® in 2006, offering guidance to active users, friends and families, those who are more likely to encounter a heroin user who has overdosed before an ambulance can arrive. BPHC staff has trained more than 10,000 people on how to spot an overdose and administer Narcan® last year alone. In 2014, Mayor Walsh announced that all first responders in the City of Boston would be trained to administer and carry Narcan®.

Through collaboration with EMS, BPD, BFD, BPHC, Boston 311, and other municipal departments, the City of Boston offers a comprehensive set of innovative approaches to treating substance use disorders and combating the national opioid epidemic.

(波克萊台商會訊)波克萊台灣商會624日一大早,組團前往鷲灣遊樂區( Buzzards Bay Recreation Area)海釣,9家人冒雨拋竿,別有樂趣。
波克萊台灣商會由於擁有理事游家霖,會長蘇鴻昌這兩名熟悉相關政令,技巧的專家,在大波士頓僑團中大概是第一個,可能也是迄今唯一一個,舉辦海釣,以及釣墨魚等活動的僑團,曾經還租船出海,讓人倘佯在無際天邊中,感受與魚對話的大自然情境。
波克萊台商會會長蘇鴻昌釣魚前做報告。
624日的海釣活動,一大早8點半,在漢堡王停車場集合。會長蘇鴻昌報告,這次的“麻州鱈魚角運河區與鱈魚灣區海釣大會”是為慶祝美國國慶,融入美國主流,提高台灣聲譽。原本有22家報名,因為天氣預報有暴雨,結果只有9家人出席,希望明年會好天氣。
波克萊台商會顧問游勝雄表示,這也是響應麻州政府保育及娛樂廳主辦的非競爭性家庭釣魚比賽,波克萊台灣商會特地代表台灣參加,提升台灣的知名度。
集合時,釣魚隊長游家霖解說政令,說明當天早上4點及下午4點是漲潮時刻,在漲潮,退潮前後是魚群蜂擁而至,海釣收穫大的機會比較多。在鱈魚角運河區和鱈魚灣區,目前出現的魚種以條紋鱸魚(Strip Bass)最多,其次為裸首梳唇隆頭魚(Tautog),門齒鯛(Scup),比目魚,斜紋犬牙石首魚(Weakfish),大西洋鱈魚,黑線鱈(Haddock)
