Join CHJ and Altarum, two of the training and technical assistance providers under COSSUP, as they discuss deflection and law enforcement partnerships with the community and people with lived and living experience. Presentations will include overviews of two programs, including the GROWing Dayton Strong program in Ohio and the Oklahoma Citizen Advocates for Recovery and Transformation (CART) Association in Oklahoma and the collaboration and partnership they have with law enforcement. Following these brief presentations, a moderated discussion will focus on community engagement opportunities that these two programs have fostered, including providing support, community, and resources to people who use substances and those in recovery.
