Higher Education Prevention Service (HEPS)

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — Northeastern State University has been awarded a Higher Education Prevention Service (HEPS) grant through the Oklahoma Department of Health & Human Services to support opioid and stimulant prevention.

NSU Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Sheila Self said the grant will provide funding for education and referrals and will utilize a coalition to address community-wide issues related to opioid and stimulant use in the surrounding area.

“Grants such as this one, through prevention, education and referrals to treatment, change lives and save the lives of individuals in our communities,” Self said.

The funding for the grant is $100,000 a year and is renewable for three years contingent on performance and availability of funding of state and/or federal funding.

Funds for the grant will support program expenses including the hiring of a project coordinator and funds will be equally dedicated to both opioid and stimulant prevention.
