Resilience in Action: Navigating the Overdose Crisis with Limited Resources

It is increasingly challenging to serve communities and prevent overdose. How do we sustain community relationships and provide access to life-saving services with limited financial, human, institutional, legislative and social capital?

Community-based organizations and health departments that support people who use drugs must continue to find ways to be creative, nimble and resourceful in order to effectively meet community needs with changing resources and settings.

Join us on July 29, 12-1 p.m. ET, for a webinar where you’ll hear directly from experts in the field about their strategies for preventing overdose and supporting people who use drugs. We’ll focus on approaches that work with limited resources, including community partnerships, resource sharing, mutual support and coalition building.

Presenters:

• Anne Siegler, Moderator
• Tracie M. Gardner, Executive Director, National Black Harm Reduction Network
• Emily Winkelstein, Director of Overdose Prevention, NACCHO
• Mark Jenkins, Founder and CEO, Connecticut Harm Reduction Alliance

After this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Describe the unique challenges faced by community-based organizations and health departments with limited resources in overdose prevention service delivery.
• Explore creative and effective solutions that community-based organizations and health departments can employ to support the provision of overdose prevention services to PWUD in resource-constrained environments.
