Opioid addiction is a national crisis; and its effects can be seen first hand in the Lehigh Valley. As a person who has not been affected immediately by opioid addiction, it is important for me to learn the ways I can assist in the fight to combat this epidemic. I want to become more informed about the state of opioid addiction in the Lehigh Valley and share what I learn in a compelling way. I don’t have a solid idea about the way I want to approach this project but I want to go about the story in a way that is unique. First and foremost my goal is to tell the story in a way that respects all those affected by opioid addiction. Besides that there will be certain constraints. One I expect to run into early is trouble gaining access to first hand accounts, but just as any good documentation my group mates and I will have to find ways around the constraints working against us.
