Our network focuses on addressing the conditions that can increase the risk of substance use and overdose before a crisis occurs. Together, we explore practical prevention measures that build protective factors, promote mental wellness, strengthen family and community connections, expand awareness of available resources, and support timely responses to mental health, suicide, substance-use, and opioid-overdose concerns.
