“Inside a Preschool That Treats the Youngest Victims of the Opioid Crisis”
About the Entry
Tate reports on a heartbreaking and under-reported side effect to the opioid crisis: children of opioid users, who are often exposed to trauma from a young age. In Ohio, the state with the second-highest opioid death rate, Tate tells the story of a preschool that provides holistic support for the youngest victims of the opioid epidemic.
