Virtual Event: Building Successful Overdose Prevention and Response Programs in Community Corrections
Community supervision officers are uniquely positioned to reduce overdose risk among individuals under supervision. To succeed, community supervision staff would benefit from additional education on substance use disorders and training in evidence-based overdose prevention practices, including approaches to building trust and rapport with people under supervision.
To support overdose prevention and response initiatives in community supervision settings, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), created a series of free, self-paced courses with essential information for community supervision officers, leaders and administrators to successfully implement overdose prevention and response practices within their work.
