BMC OBAT TTA is supporting a new initiative to form regional collaboratives across Massachusetts among substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers. The goal of these collaboratives is to create linkages between SUD treatment providers within each region, in order to share knowledge and resources and enhance mutual support in delivering addiction care.
To kick off this initiative, we are holding these half-day meetings in each region, hosted in partnership with local community health centers. These meetings are an opportunity for SUD treatment providers to further cultivate regional connections and explore issues impacting addiction care locally.
Meeting Agenda:
8:00 – 8:15AM | Brief Introductions & Overview of Needs Assessment Data
8:15 – 9:45AM | Plenary on the State of the Region, covering current Massachusetts initiatives and topics including:
9:45 – 10:00AM | Break
10:00 – 11:00AM | Breakout networking sessions on regional topics of interest
11:00 – 11:30AM | Conclusions and Next Steps
PLEASE NOTE: There is a SNOW DAY booked for this event on Thursday, March 5th, at the same time and in the same location.
