Community Collective

Coming Together to Create a Healthier Arizona

The Foundation’s Community Collective series of webinars launched in August of 2022. More than 450 attendees – including grantees, community partners, and public health and community leaders – have gathered to learn, share, network, and rally support around crucial health issues in our state. This year, we have added a Day of Action following the webinar that gives us the opportunity to give back to our community.

Upcoming Webinar

Join us at our next Community Collective on September 10!

Arizona’s Opioid Epidemic: Best Practices in Education, Prevention, and Treatment
Arizona, like much of the United States, is still struggling with the opioid epidemic. Despite efforts, about five people die every day in Arizona from opioid and other drug effects.

Dr. Daniel E. Brooks, medical toxicologist, will discuss the impact of opioids and other drugs on Arizonans’ health and safety.

Lean about:

  • Intervention resources and biosurveillance tools
  • Arizona Opioid Assistance and Referral (OAR) Line
  • Current data on the opioid crisis
  • Novel opioid agents and testing methods

Day of Action

Put what you learn into practice on September 18 at our Day of Action for Trauma-Informed RX 360 Substance Misuse Training (a virtual and in-person training).

This training will help you:

  • Understand how trauma affects the brain
  • Learn the connection to substance misuse
  • And how to use Narcan to reverse an overdose
