Battleground Wisconsin

We welcome Anthony Alvarado from Rise Together for a special interview to discuss the movement to use healthcare centered screening to prevent youth substance abuse in Wisconsin. We discuss a report released by Rise Together, Citizen Action and other advocates showing 1 in 2 Wisconsin students who've experimented with risky substances continued to use. We review the report's progressive solutions to ensure more young people in Wisconsin stay on a healthy path. To learn more and get involved with the statewide coalition of advocates and activists working to address the heroin/opioid epidemic in Wisconsin through early screening and brief intervention.
