We need your ideas, thoughts, experiences, and expertise to help solve this crisis. Together, working across disciplines and systems, we can find solutions to improve the lives of those impacted by pain and addiction by valuing resilience-oriented healthcare, reimagining community supports, and empowering local communities. From law enforcement, housing, and health care to addiction treatment, foster care, and others, our goal is to amplify innovative ideas to heal individuals, families and communities.
