Mashpees Use Federal Grant to Craft Addiction Plan

WCAI

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is using a 5-year federal Health and Human Services grant to develop a strategic plan to tackle addiction issues among its members. The work includes gathering data though detailed community assessments that gauge what people are thinking, doing, and feeling about addiction and other health issues.

WCAI's Kathryn Eident spoke with Hope Shwom, tribal action plan coordinator for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, to learn more.

Kathryn Eident was the Morning Edition Host and Senior Producer of News until November 2022.
