Victim Advocacy Program Logo

The Opioid Survivor Family Advocate is here to provide supports and services to family members who have lost a loved one to an opioid-related death. The death of your loved one is important to us. We understand that you may be experiencing a variety of emotions during this time which may include confusion, numbness or a state of shock. Grief is exhibited in many different forms and not everyone responds in the same way.

On this site, you will find information about community resources. Please contact the Opioid Survivor Family Advocate (OSFA) if you have any questions or concerns.
