In response to the opioid crisis, Putnam officials have created a Suicide and Overdose Fatality Review Team — a multi-disciplinary group designed to conduct in-depth reviews of select local deaths in an effort to better understand and prevent future tragedies. The team’s leaders include the county’s Director of Mental Health Paul Tang, Dual Recovery Coordinator Lauren Johnson, and Director of the Child Advocacy Center Marla Behler, along with Shanna Siegel of the Putnam County Department of Health and Megan Castellano of Guardian Homefront.
