Thursday Connections with SUD at DHS

Overview

This monthly virtual meeting allows members of the substance use disorder (SUD) community to connect with the SUD unit at the Department of Human Services (DHS), get updates about what’s new and get answers to their SUD questions.

Attendees can feel free to send questions ahead of time to sud.direct.access.dhs@state.mn.us and use subject line: “Question for Thursday Connections.”

Though we will do our best to answer questions during the meeting itself, please allow up to two weeks after the meeting for us to post responses to questions on this webpage. We want to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date responses are available for the whole community.
