This grant proposal targets 18 counties across Missouri with high rates of opioid-involved overdose deaths. We will be offering the training Overdose Response: Brains, Bias, and Best Practices developed by the Mid-America Addition Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) to first responders, which includes overdose education and naloxone distribution training. We will also be doing naloxone distribution with local health departments and first responder agencies, as well as supporting the development and/or expansion of opioid-focused community coalitions. Our goal is to provide increased training, naloxone, and community infrastructure development and support to high-need communities across Missouri to help reduce the incidence of fatal opioid overdoses.
