Community Groups

Our experience has shown us that the central role of the community advisory boards cannot be emphasized enough. In general the boards are made up of clinicians, parents, health officials, faith community representatives, school and college officials, law enforcement and others. They dictate the specific mix of overdose prevention interventions for their local area. Our national presence gives us access to resources that coalitions would not be aware of, and our practical experience helps us guide the formation and sustainable development of these groups.
