Low Turnout at Drug Forum

...Lisa Essich and her daughter Lea Edgecomb, 20, also attended the event. Edgecomb overdosed on heroin when she was a 15-year-old county student and now must use a wheelchair. She and her mom have visited several county schools to share her story.
Addressing the forum speakers, Essich asked how the school system might help spread the message to more students through programs, such as her daughter’s talks.
Some parents asked the school system to consider organizing similar sessions at individual schools and how to gather more people in the future.
“The next step,” one parent said, is figuring out “how to get the audience full.”
