SUMMARY:Post Overdose Response Team (PORT) Training - Clay County
DESCRIPTION:Opioid overdose has long been a leading cause of death\, especially among Americans under 50. The current “4th wave” of the epidemic—marked by potent fentanyl analogues\, stimulant co-use\, and contamination with substances like xylazine—makes treatment increasingly difficult. While evidence-based tools like buprenorphine\, methadone\, naloxone\, and harm reduction remain essential\, access is often blocked by insurance issues\, stigma\, transportation\, and provider shortages. As a result\, first responders and EMS\, already stretched thin\, bear much of the burden. \nPost-Overdose Response Teams (PORT) offer a promising solution—delivering evidence-based care directly in the field and reducing both risk and system strain. These teams can be effective in any setting by collaborating with providers\, public health\, law enforcement\, and harm reduction programs. This training will explore the current opioid crisis\, addiction science\, medication treatment\, and how to build a PORT program—from assessing needs to forming partnerships\, establishing protocols\, and tracking outcomes. \nRegister using this link: Training\, Exercise & Response Management System –

SUMMARY:Improving Communication About the Drug Supply to Improve Health Outcomes Among PWUD
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will overview forthcoming products from the CDC PHIC Improving Communication About the Drug Supply to Improve Health Outcomes Among PWUD project. The primary goal of this project was to identify current best practices and promising strategies\, directly engage priority communities\, and develop action-oriented guidance on the effective communication of information about the illicit drug supply. By better understanding the information produced through community drug checking activities and other health engagement efforts\, public health partners can equip themselves and community stakeholders with information and health promotion strategies to reduce overdose risk and support service utilization. Project staff and consultants will walk through resulting materials—including a public health communications toolkit and community-developed recommendations document—the creation processes\, and intended uses. \nPlease contact DrugUserHealthTA@NASTAD.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:NC-TAC Webinar: Invisible Sentence-Recognizing\, Supporting\, and Advocating for Children of Incarcerated and Returning Parents

SUMMARY:Overdose Response – What Teens and Adults Should Know to Save a Life
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is for youth ages 12-18 and their parents/caregivers. It will introduce strategies for keeping teens safe when they encounter drugs. \nDrug overdoses have become the third leading cause of death among children and adolescents in the US. Fentanyl\, a very potent opioid drug\, is often hidden in counterfeit (fake) pills and substances that typically contain no opioids.

In this webinar\, we will learn: \n\nWhat opioid drugs are and the dangers of counterfeit pills\nHarm reduction strategies to prevent an overdose\nSigns of an opioid overdose\nHow to respond if a friend or family member overdoses\, including how to administer naloxone.\n\nAll are welcome to attend\, and all participants will receive a gift bag with naloxone and other items that can be picked up at the Durham County Human Services Building after the webinar.

SUMMARY:NC-TAC Webinar: Pre-Arrest Diversion Programs in North Carolina ‑ Local Perspectives and New Resources
DESCRIPTION:Many law enforcement officers are familiar with community members who are repeatedly arrested for low-level crimes related to their substance use. There is growing recognition that arresting these individuals rarely leads to lasting positive change for the individuals or to improvements in public safety and community wellbeing. \nPre-arrest diversion programs connect people at risk of incarceration due to low-level drug-related offenses with treatment\, health and social services\, and other community supports. There are examples of successful pre-arrest diversion programs in cities and counties in all regions of North Carolina. \nJoin us to hear from panelists implementing these programs across the state. This webinar will also present NC-TAC’s new diversion handbook for law enforcement and community stakeholders. \nREGISTER HERE
