Request for approval to host the Healthcare Substance Use Prevention Workshop on June 18, 2025 in the total amount of $59,585.
end
Background and Discussion:
The purpose of the workshop is to deepen participants' understanding of substance use disorders (SUDs) as chronic, treatable conditions, while promoting evidence-based strategies for prevention, intervention, and treatment. It aims to equip professionals with practical skills in providing stigma-free, person-centered, and trauma-informed care, enhancing patient outcomes and fostering trust. The workshop also focuses on improving care coordination by connecting healthcare providers with community resources and addressing social determinants of health. Ultimately, it empowers professionals to integrate substance use prevention and stigma reduction strategies into their daily practice, contributing to better health outcomes for both individuals and communities.
Expected Impact:
The impact of the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) healthcare systems workshop is profound, enhancing practitioners' understanding of substance use disorders (SUDs) and equipping them with evidence-based strategies to provide more effective, compassionate care. For patients, the workshop fosters a supportive, stigma-free environment that improves engagement with healthcare services, encourages treatment adherence, and promotes better health outcomes.
Alternative Options:
If this workshop is not approved, we risk being out of compliance with the grant work plan, which mandates hosting workshops and educational sessions focused on the three key areas outlined in the grant. These areas-overdose prevention, harm reduction, and linkage to care-are essential for fulfilling the objectives of the OD2A-Local grant. Non-compliance may result in the inability to meet performance requirements, jeopardizing funding and the continuation of critical initiatives designed to address the overdose.
