Wisconsin Radio Network affiliate WSAU will broadcast a five-hour special event called, “Heroin in Wisconsin; Save Our Families.” [I will add a link to their site when it goes live]
Seth Mela of WSAU will join hosts from WTAQ as well WHBL to engage the community in a discussion about the rising threat of opioid abuse in the state of Wisconsin.
The event will also feature Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, members of local law enforcement and families impacted by opioid abuse to offer a diverse perspective on how to approach the threat that drug use poses to the state.
