THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of Communications
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 26, 2016
**
*ADVISORY: Champions of Change for Advancing Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery*
WASHINGTON, D.C. On Friday, April 29, the White House will recognize ten individuals from across the country as White House Champions of Change for Advancing Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery.
These individuals were selected by the White House for their leadership and tireless work to prevent prescription drug abuse and heroin use, improve access to treatment and support recovery.
Prescription drug abuse and heroin use have taken a heartbreaking toll on too many Americans and their families, while straining resources of law enforcement and treatment programs. More Americans now die every year from drug overdoses than they do in motor vehicle crashes. The President has made clear that addressing the opioid overdose epidemic is a priority for his Administration and has highlighted tools that are effective in reducing drug use and overdose, like evidence-based prevention programs, prescription drug monitoring, prescription drug take-back events, medication-assisted treatment and the overdose reversal drug naloxone.
The event will feature remarks by White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and Director of National Drug Control Policy Michael Botticelli. The event will also feature members of the cast and production team of the Warner Bros. Television-produced CBS comedy series Mom.
The Champions of Change program was created as an opportunity for the White House to feature individuals doing extraordinary things to empower and inspire members of their communities. The event will be open press and streamed live on www.whitehouse.gov/live [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/live ].To learn more about the White House Champions of Change program, visit www.whitehouse.gov/champions [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/champions ].
