Michael Pantalon, Dean of the School of Health Professions, and Laura Seinfeld, Dean of the College of Education, Information and Technology, have secured over $4 million in funding from Nassau County for two projects related to mental health and opioid use. The first project is aimed at offering and evaluating a wide range of training and educational programs for the mental health professionals and citizens of the county. The second focuses on implementing and evaluating a school-based screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment program around the risk for opioid use.
