The opioid crisis hit a historic new height during the pandemic. In the 12-month period that ended in July 2023, 81,027 people died of an opioid overdose. To address this epidemic, communities need robust continuums of care to prevent and treat opioid use disorder. Judges and judicially led teams are in a unique position to advocate and promote services and resources that will serve the families in front of them as well as the community at large. This event will bring together judicially led multi-disciplinary court teams of four participants from jurisdictions across the country to learn about best practices and emergent solutions, prioritize their communities' gaps in care, and develop action plans to address those gaps in their communities. At the end of the training, participants will have a personalized and specific action plan to fill the gaps in care in their jurisdiction and the skills to enact their action plan.

This event will be held in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 20, 2024.
