Guest Speaker: This week's guest speaker was Tracy Crossman of Healthy Acadia and Project Hope.
Project Hope is a collaboration of the Ellsworth Police Department, the Washington County Sheriff's Office, along with the Baileyville and Pleasant Point police departments.
The Project's approach is to allow those struggling with opioid addiction to discard their drugs and paraphernalia without fear of arrest. Participants who visit the Project Hope center at the Ellsworth Police Department will be screened during intake and then paired with a volunteer "angel" who will work with the participant to find an appropriate treatment program, detox facility or support service.
