Lily's Social Impact Initiative is:
“The Second Chance Movement: Opioid Epidemic Awareness”.
"Together, we can change the mindset of Carbon County to create a more comfortable environment for those seeking help to actually follow through. We can do this by finding a way to provide training to people in the area on how to use narcan. If there’s any way a life can be saved through this provided education, then it’s worth it. We can also implement better treatment by reevaluating the drug court system being used today and creating safe places to dispose of paraphernalia. We can offer more help to people by investing in creating programs such as sober living, inpatient/outpatient/transitional rehabilitation services, and increasing the number of NA and AA meetings where an addict may safely and discreetly have the opportunity to ask for help or have someone to talk to. The Miss Carbon County program can help me in making these intentions a reality by giving a stronger voice to not only myself, but for others also affected by the opioid epidemic. Let’s give Carbon County a second chance and move into a brighter future while making a lasting difference in our community."
