ABOUT

Don’t miss our final gathering to celebrate your progress and accelerate your project’s momentum. Join us for an engaging 1.5 day in-person session, focused on MAT expansion, overdose prevention, and staff development and training. You will receive expert advice from coaches and network with your peers to build your plan for sustainability.

Who should attend this event

Each team is invited to bring up to four team members (representing your clinic and community partner). Grant funding is meant to offset costs of attending in-person convenings for your team members, including your community partner.

Registration guidelines: We recommend sending leaders (e.g. team lead) with decision-making abilities that can champion specific lessons learned. Please only register if you are confident you can attend.

Registration Deadline: Friday, April 19th
