Summary of Request:
Since 2018, the California Overdose Prevention Network (COPN) has led the effort to provide a statewide forum for coalitions, organizations, and individuals working to combat the overdose crisis in California. The COPN Accelerator 4.0 program will help the Mendocino County community take an equity-based approach to overdose prevention. Using a guided process, the Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) team will apply principles of health equity and social justice to expand and strengthen existing overdose prevention activities including harm reduction, access to addiction treatment, and youth engagement. Learning groups and support from subject matter experts will help the team focus on a health equity strategy, giving BHRS the ability to customize the program experience to meet specific needs within our community.
Through the proposed grant Agreement, BHRS will use the funds to support the equity project and travel to the annual Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Substance Use Disorder conference.
In April 2022, BHRS submitted the COPN Accelerator 4.0 Grant Application, and received notice of award on March 1, 2023.
Due to time constraints, the grant application was submitted to the Public Health Institute (PHI) prior to Board of Supervisors approval. PHI then determined an effective date of March 1, 2023, and BHRS is now seeking BOS ratification of the grant application, and execution of the retroactive grant Agreement.
