NEWARK ― By responding to the dramatic rise in overdoses and overdose deaths, first responders often experience a lot of trauma. At a recent event at Ohio State University-Newark, the college, OhioCAN (Change Addiction Now) and Newark Homeless Outreach made sure that their importance to the community was acknowledged. "First responders see the toll addiction can have on those struggling and those left behind. It is important we recognize their daily efforts to save lives, change the tide of addiction and be the link that brings a community together," featured speaker Tom Synan, police chief of the village of Newtown and founder of the Hamilton County Addiction Response Coalition, said in a press release on the OSU-Newark website.
