The PHI Center for Health Leadership and Impact is pleased to announce our upcoming COPN Accelerator 5.0 program for local, multi-sector teams. This year’s cohort will focus on sustainability in overdose prevention. The program is designed to help California communities embed sustainability principles and practices to strengthen their response to fentanyl and other drugs. Eligible applicants include formal and informal teams, collaboratives, or coalitions interested in substance use and/or overdose including those focused on youth, harm reduction, and/or overdose prevention.

Join our information session on Wednesday, August 9, 2022 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM PT to learn more about the program and application process. We will include a live Q&A session to address any questions about the program and application process. Applications will open after the event. Spread the word and register today!

Data can help power local-level work to combat overdose. With data, we can raise awareness, tailor interventions, encourage policy support, and gain vital intelligence on the nature of the local overdose problem. The Spring 2023 COPN Convening will be a data summit on ways you can harness data to help achieve your aims.

The COPN Data Summit will feature key data sources and platforms needed for local decision-making; success stories from communities across California who will share how they’re leveraging data; a conversation about equity considerations with overdose data; and small-group breakout discussions on creating your own community surveys, forming strong and sustainable data partnerships, and ideas for new data systems to strengthen overdose prevention activities in California.

The COPN Data Summit promises to be a lively exchange of ideas for how we can all better marshal data to support our local work to combat overdose.
