Webinar replay: Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Ecosystem of Care-Pivoting to Save Lives Part 2: Empowering Change in the SUD Ecosystem
This webinar was held on April 10, 2024.
As covered in the first webinar of this series, we have an imperative to think and act differently to change the trajectory of not just the long-standing opioid epidemic, but other existing and emerging harmful substance use and addiction. Grounded in equity, empowering change in the SUD ecosystem requires person-centered and community driven approaches to respond to individual wants and needs. We must meet each person where they are as well as consider how the ecosystem of each community can be leveraged to drive change.
In this webinar, we shared examples of best practices that could be improved upon by integrating a person-centered approach; explained how “meeting people where they are” applies to equitable practices, individualized care, and community solutions; and discussed “equity grounded” in the context of the SUD ecosystem including addressing structural barriers, dominant narratives, and incorporating community voices and partnerships.
