Course Description

“Faith-based Organizations (FBOs) and communities have a long tradition of supporting individuals and families affected by substance use disorders. The following are just some examples of how FBOs contribute to SUD prevention, education, and recovery efforts: participate in prevention efforts by providing education; host or increase access to intervention and recovery support programs; create awareness and decrease stigma through open dialogue and collaborations; provide community outreach services, SUD resources, and individual and family guidance; and provide spiritual and faith-based leadership to their members and communities in times of need.” (Opioid Use Disorder Toolkit). This course provides information and resources for faith leaders and faith community organizations to consider when developing a strategic response to the opioid crisis.
