Webinar: Evidence Innovation: How AmeriCorps Investments are Addressing the Opioid Crisis – Feb 29
Posted by AmeriCorps on February 20, 2024
Join us for a discussion of findings on AmeriCorps work in the health and substance use disorder fields, approaches for growing evidence-building innovations, and practices responding to localized community health capacity needs.
As a nation, COVID-19 was a collective experience that exacerbated a localized opioid crisis in underserved communities. Our agency investments in people, partners and communities reinforces that AmeriCorps programs contribute to much needed capacity building, deliver evidence informed programming, and support community resilience. As a federal agency, the pandemic helped “stress test” the call for service as a solution to community challenges like substance and opioid misuse, and we rose successfully to partner and reinforce local capacities by investing in innovative interventions to disrupt the epidemic. We now have a growing and emerging body of evidence supporting AmeriCorps work in diverse health and substance use disorder fields. Join us as we discuss our approach for growing evidence-building innovations, present our findings, and share practices responding to localized community health capacity needs.
