>> DAVE, LET'S START WITH YOU.

00:01:23.783 --> 00:01:26.252
THESE AREAS ARE JUST NORTH,

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.954
NORTHEAST OF MUNCIE, VERY RURAL

00:01:28.021 --> 00:01:28.321
AREAS.

00:01:28.388 --> 00:01:30.490
TALK ABOUT THE NEED FOR THIS

00:01:30.557 --> 00:01:32.459
PROJECT IN THIS AREA IN

00:01:32.525 --> 00:01:32.759

00:01:32.826 --> 00:01:34.427
>> SURE.

00:01:34.494 --> 00:01:36.396
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT JAY AND

00:01:36.463 --> 00:01:38.198
BLACKFORD COUNTIES, BOTH ARE

00:01:38.264 --> 00:01:39.766
VERY RURAL, SMALL POPULATIONS,

00:01:39.833 --> 00:01:41.468
BUT AS YOU HEARD FROM GERRY,

00:01:41.534 --> 00:01:43.236
THEY'VE BEEN DRAMATICALLY

00:01:43.303 --> 00:01:46.940
IMPACTED BY THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC.

00:01:47.006 --> 00:01:48.007
WE ARE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL

00:01:48.074 --> 00:01:49.943
SHORTAGE AREAS, WHICH MEANS THAT

00:01:50.009 --> 00:01:51.978
BASED ON OUR POPULATION WE DON'T

00:01:52.045 --> 00:01:53.346
HAVE ENOUGH HEALTHCARE ACCESS

00:01:53.413 --> 00:01:54.848
FOR OUR POPULATION, SO WHILE WE

00:01:54.914 --> 00:01:57.383
TRY TO PROVIDE THAT ACCESS, WE

00:01:57.450 --> 00:01:59.018
DO HAVE SOME GAPS ESPECIALLY IN

00:01:59.085 --> 00:01:59.619
THAT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.

00:01:59.686 --> 00:02:01.821
WHAT IS UNIQUE, WE HAVE TWO

00:02:01.888 --> 00:02:03.156
COUNTIES RIGHT NEXT TO EACH

00:02:03.223 --> 00:02:05.925
OTHER, BOTH WITH I.U. HEALTH

00:02:05.992 --> 00:02:07.227
HOSPITALS, BLACKFORD AND JAY,

00:02:07.293 --> 00:02:09.295

HAVE PURDUE EXTENSION OFFICES IN

00:02:10.797 --> 00:02:12.899
EACH COUNTY, WHICH HAVE REALLY

00:02:12.966 --> 00:02:14.734
MADE THIS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO

00:02:14.801 --> 00:02:16.236
WORK COLLABORATIVE, NOT JUST IN

00:02:16.302 --> 00:02:18.371
OUR OWN COMMUNITIES, BUT ACROSS

00:02:18.438 --> 00:02:18.972
COUNTY LINES.

00:02:19.038 --> 00:02:22.876
BECAUSE WE ARE A REGION, AND WE

00:02:22.942 --> 00:02:23.309
AREN'T AN ISLAND

00:02:23.376 --> 00:02:25.979

00:02:26.045 --> 00:02:26.679
COLLABORATION, 7 COMMUNITY

00:02:26.746 --> 00:02:27.747
ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED, OF

00:02:27.814 --> 00:02:29.315
COURSE WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO

00:02:29.382 --> 00:02:31.117
NAME THEM ALL.

00:02:31.184 --> 00:02:32.218
MELANIE, EXPLAIN BIG PICTURE

00:02:32.285 --> 00:02:33.820
WHAT IS EVERYONE WORKING

00:02:33.887 --> 00:02:35.355
TOGETHER TO DO.

00:02:35.421 --> 00:02:36.890
TELL US SOME OF THE THINGS THAT

00:02:36.956 --> 00:02:38.691
THE CONSORTIUM IS DOING RIGHT

00:02:38.758 --> 00:02:38.892
NOW.

00:02:38.958 --> 00:02:40.960
>> SO, YES.

00:02:41.027 --> 00:02:44.197
THE CONSORTIUM IS WORKING ACROSS

00:02:44.264 --> 00:02:47.867
SECTORAL GROUPS, WITH THE GOAL

00:02:47.934 --> 00:02:50.236
OF COLLABORATING AND REALLY

00:02:50.303 --> 00:02:52.705
LIFTING UP BOTH COMMUNITIES IN

00:02:52.772 --> 00:02:54.107
RELATIONSHIP TO PREVENTION,

00:02:54.173 --> 00:02:55.909
TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY FOR

00:02:55.975 --> 00:02:56.609
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER

00:02:56.676 --> 00:02:59.112
>> DAVE, YOU MENTIONED OFF

00:02:59.178 --> 00:03:01.314
CAMERA A BIG PART OF THIS IS

00:03:01.381 --> 00:03:03.116
REDUCING THE STIGMA, AND

00:03:03.182 --> 00:03:04.217
MELANIE, I'M SURE YOU CAN

00:03:04.284 --> 00:03:05.652
COMMENT ON THAT, TOO.

00:03:05.718 --> 00:03:07.720
AND ALSO REALLY COMBINING FORCES

00:03:07.787 --> 00:03:08.621
WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

00:03:08.688 --> 00:03:10.623
CAN YOU GIVE US JUST A LITTLE

00:03:10.690 --> 00:03:11.891
MORE DETAIL ABOUT THOSE TWO

00:03:11.958 --> 00:03:12.592
THINGS, DAVE.

00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:13.459
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

00:03:13.526 --> 00:03:15.628
YOU KNOW, WE THINK ABOUT

00:03:15.695 --> 00:03:16.896
SUBSTANCE ABUSE RECOVERY, YOU

00:03:16.963 --> 00:03:19.566
KNOW, IT IS NOT GOING TO BE

00:03:19.632 --> 00:03:22.569
SOLVED BY ANY ONE ORGANIZATION.

00:03:22.635 --> 00:03:23.670
WE CAN'T LEGISLATE OURSELVES OUT

00:03:23.736 --> 00:03:25.738
OF THIS PROBLEM, IT IS NOT UP TO

00:03:25.805 --> 00:03:26.706
LAW ENFORCEMENT ALONE TO SOLVE

00:03:26.773 --> 00:03:27.440
THIS PROBLEM.

00:03:27.507 --> 00:03:29.208
WE AS A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM CAN'T

00:03:29.275 --> 00:03:31.110
SOLVE IT ON OUR OWN.

00:03:31.177 --> 00:03:32.211
THE THING THAT THIS GRANT IS

00:03:32.278 --> 00:03:34.013
GOING TO HELP US DO IS TO BRING

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.081
DIFFERENT COMMUNITY PLAYERS

00:03:35.148 --> 00:03:36.115
TOGETHER SO WE CAN ALL TAKE A

00:03:36.182 --> 00:03:37.483
LOOK AND BE HONEST WITH

00:03:37.550 --> 00:03:38.751
OURSELVES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM

00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:40.486
THAT WE'RE ALL FACING AND ALL

00:03:40.553 --> 00:03:41.654
AFFECTED BY, IT AFFECTS EVERY

00:03:41.721 --> 00:03:42.655
WALK OF LIFE.

00:03:42.722 --> 00:03:44.791
WHEN YOU COME TO THESE

00:03:44.857 --> 00:03:46.693
COMMUNITIES, NOT A SINGLE PERSON

00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.728
HASN'T BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS

00:03:48.795 --> 00:03:48.995
EPIDEMIC.

00:03:49.062 --> 00:03:50.630
SO WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE FIRST

00:03:50.697 --> 00:03:52.131
STEPS WITH THAT, IT IS COMING

00:03:52.198 --> 00:03:53.132
TOGETHER AS A GROUP.

00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.369
BUT WE HAVE TO REDUCE THE STIGMA

00:03:56.436 --> 00:03:57.103
ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE,

00:03:57.170 --> 00:03:59.339
THERE IS NOT A STIGMA AROUND

00:03:59.405 --> 00:04:00.506
DIABETES OR OTHER HEALTHCARE

00:04:00.573 --> 00:04:02.709
CONDITIONS, AND WE HAVE TO TREAT

00:04:02.775 --> 00:04:04.143
SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDERS JUST

00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:05.178
LIKE THOSE OTHERS.

00:04:05.244 --> 00:04:07.313
BECAUSE IF PEOPLE HAVE THESE

00:04:07.380 --> 00:04:08.548
ISSUES, IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO GET

00:04:08.615 --> 00:04:10.350
TO A POINT WHERE YOU WANT TO

00:04:10.416 --> 00:04:11.084
SEEK TREATMENT.

00:04:11.150 --> 00:04:13.252
BUT WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:14.854
THESE PEOPLE DON'T FEEL THAT

00:04:14.921 --> 00:04:15.755
THEY'RE THREATENED BY THEIR

00:04:15.822 --> 00:04:16.022
COMMUNITY.

00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:17.357
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ACCESS

00:04:17.423 --> 00:04:18.958
TO CARE IS EASY TO GET.

00:04:19.025 --> 00:04:20.593
BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT, AND

00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:22.328
WITHOUT THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT,

00:04:22.395 --> 00:04:24.530
WE'RE NEVER GOING TO MAKE A DENT

00:04:24.597 --> 00:04:26.199
IN THIS PROBLEM

00:04:26.265 --> 00:04:27.700
>> MELANIE, OPIOIDS IS IN THE

00:04:27.767 --> 00:04:29.202
NAME OF THIS CONSORTIUM, YOU

00:04:29.268 --> 00:04:30.570
MENTIONED THE DRUG PROBLEM IS

00:04:30.637 --> 00:04:32.372
ACTUALLY SHIFTING AWAY FROM

00:04:32.438 --> 00:04:33.740
OPIOIDS IN THAT AREA NOW.

00:04:33.806 --> 00:04:37.043
YOU SAY IT IS MORE ABOUT THE

00:04:37.110 --> 00:04:39.779
UNDERLYING CAUSES OF ADDICTION

00:04:39.846 --> 00:04:40.013
ISSUES.

00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.714
CAN YOU SHARE YOUR PERSPECTIVE

00:04:41.781 --> 00:04:42.181
ABOUT THAT.

00:04:42.248 --> 00:04:42.982
>> SURE.

00:04:43.049 --> 00:04:45.785
I'VE WORKED IN EAST CENTRAL

00:04:45.852 --> 00:04:47.520
INDIANA FOR THE LAST COUPLE

00:04:47.587 --> 00:04:49.789
YEARS ON THE SUBSTANCE USE

00:04:49.856 --> 00:04:50.089
CHALLENGES.

00:04:50.156 --> 00:04:51.824
AND WHEN WE EMBARKED ON THE

00:04:51.891 --> 00:04:54.394
WORK, WE -- IT WAS REALLY FUNDED

00:04:54.460 --> 00:04:56.429
AROUND OPIATES, AND WHAT WE NOW

00:04:56.496 --> 00:04:57.597
KNOW AS WE'VE GOTTEN INTO THE

00:04:57.664 --> 00:04:59.766
COMMUNITY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS,

00:04:59.832 --> 00:05:03.836
THAT THE PROBLEM HAS MOVED TO

00:05:03.903 --> 00:05:04.871
METHAMPHETAMINE, SO FRANKLY

00:05:04.937 --> 00:05:06.406
CHASING THE DRUG OR THE TYPE OF

00:05:06.472 --> 00:05:07.874
SUBSTANCE IS NOT GOING TO REALLY

00:05:07.940 --> 00:05:10.343
HELP US TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

00:05:10.410 --> 00:05:11.911
SO WE'RE GOING TO -- WE'RE

00:05:11.978 --> 00:05:13.546
REALLY LOOKING AT THE UNDERLYING

00:05:13.613 --> 00:05:14.947
CAUSES FOR WHY THERE ARE

00:05:15.014 --> 00:05:16.482
ADDICTION ISSUES, AND WE REALLY

00:05:16.549 --> 00:05:17.950
WANT TO FOCUS OUR EFFORTS ON

00:05:18.017 --> 00:05:18.284
THAT.

00:05:18.351 --> 00:05:20.286
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT IS GOING

00:05:20.353 --> 00:05:22.789
TO BE THE SUSTAINABLE

00:05:22.855 --> 00:05:25.258
WE HAVE TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL

00:05:25.324 --> 00:05:26.893
IMPACT ON THE PROBLEM

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.896
>> YOU MEAN LIKE HEALTH

00:05:29.962 --> 00:05:31.964
DISPARITIES IN THE COMMUNITY.

00:05:32.031 --> 00:05:35.101
>> UNDERLYING ISSUES AROUND

00:05:35.168 --> 00:05:40.473
STRESS, POVERTY, CHILD ABUSE,

00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:42.709
GENERALLY ADDICTION

00:05:42.775 --> 00:05:44.844
PROBLEMS -- IT IS A PROBLEM OF

00:05:44.911 --> 00:05:46.079
CHILDHOOD, STARTS IN CHILDHOOD.

00:05:46.145 --> 00:05:49.082
AND SO WE REALLY WANT TO LOOK AT

00:05:49.148 --> 00:05:52.518
ALL THE UNDERLYING CAUSES FOR

00:05:52.585 --> 00:05:54.220
WHAT THE FAMILY STRESS IS

00:05:54.287 --> 00:05:55.488
IMPACTING ON THE CHILD'S

00:05:55.555 --> 00:05:57.056
DEVELOPMENT AND THE FAMILY.

00:05:57.123 --> 00:05:59.926
AND REALLY LOOK TO WAYS TO

00:05:59.992 --> 00:06:02.095
INTERVENE AND INTERRUPT THOSE

00:06:02.161 --> 00:06:05.431
CYCLES OF ADDICTION THAT ARE SO

00:06:05.498 --> 00:06:06.532
COMMON ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

00:06:06.599 --> 00:06:08.134
BUT PARTICULARLY WE'RE SEEING

00:06:08.201 --> 00:06:09.569
THAT IN OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES.

00:06:09.635 --> 00:06:11.637
>> DAVE, JUST A FEW SECONDS

00:06:11.704 --> 00:06:11.838
LEFT.

00:06:11.904 --> 00:06:13.473
I THINK MOST PEOPLE DON'T THINK

00:06:13.539 --> 00:06:17.643
OF PURDUE AND I.U. HEALTH AS

00:06:17.710 --> 00:06:19.145
RURAL, BOTH HAVE A RURAL

00:06:19.212 --> 00:06:20.713
PRESENCE IN INDIANA, RIGHT.

00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:21.981
>> OH, ABSOLUTELY, KYLIE.

00:06:22.048 --> 00:06:24.150
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT I.U. HEALTH

00:06:24.217 --> 00:06:26.185
OR PURDUE, WE'RE TWO OF THE

00:06:26.252 --> 00:06:27.220
LARGEST ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS

00:06:27.286 --> 00:06:29.222
STATE, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK
