On September 26, Governor McAuliffe established a Task Force on Prescription Drug and Heroin Abuse. Jan M. Brown
was a consultant on the order and hosted the signing, telling her story
and introducing Senator Kaine, who also participated in the event.
Jan is the Founder and Executive Director for SpiritWorks Foundation, a
community recovery organization in Williamsburg for people healing from
addiction, trauma, and abuse. She is also a Postulant for Holy Orders
for the Diaconate in the Diocese of Southern Virginia and a member of the board of Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church.
