CT State Opioid Response Initiative

In partnership with CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, SERAC provides local communities with mini-grants to build their capacity to develop and/or enhance local opioid addiction and overdose prevention and response efforts.

These activities include:

• Use local and state data to guide priority populations and strategies.
• Implement substance abuse prevention and behavioral health promotion initiatives within their communities.
• Utilize the Change the Script,  Live Louder, and You Think You Know state campaigns’ messaging.
• Promote and sponsor a Drug Take Back Event. 
• Purchase prevention materials for school or at risk populations.
• Provide re-entry bags for local treatment providers and wellness bags for individuals served by local town agencies. 
• Collaborate to offer QPR and Narcan Training and provide information on the Prescription Monitoring Program.
