The Cumberland-Fayetteville Opioid Response Team (C-FORT) is seeking
input from the public for the 2019 Supportive Community Survey. The survey gives
community members an opportunity to share with C-FORT how opioids and other
substances affect lives and provides a snapshot of community knowledge and
awareness about opioids.
Access the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C-FORT. It should take 5 – 10 minutes to complete. The survey data will be used
to support C-FORT strategies, action plans and activities for the upcoming
year. The survey will be available through Dec. 31. Input from the community is
valued and appreciated.
Opioids are a class of drugs that include the
illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and legally prescribed
pain relievers like oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine and many others.
C-FORT is dedicated to improving the opioid
response in our community through a collaborative effort among local government
and community stakeholders. There are currently over 90 stakeholders
participating in C-FORT including the Cumberland County Department of Public
Health, Cumberland County Board of Commissioners, District Attorney’s Office,
Cape Fear Valley Health, City of Fayetteville, Fayetteville Police Department,
Cumberland County EMS, U.S. Army Civil Affairs, Alliance Health and more.
