Deflection Echo (Virtual Session)

O2SL and QRT National will be leading and among the panelists for multiple Deflection ECHO virtual learning sessions in the first half of 2024. These sessions provide a collaborative environment for law enforcement, medical responders, addiction treatment providers, peers, and those with lived experiences to partner to share evidence-based strategies and solutions to the substance use crises facing communities across the nation. The target audience would be QRTs, law enforcement, EMS/EMT, peer support, individuals with lived experience, mental health/substance use clinicians, social workers, counselors, public health, hospitals, schools, and other community agencies. Topics will include Deflection 101, Trauma Informed Response, Research and Evaluation, Pharmacology in SUD/AUD Treatment, and Working with Families. This is a public service offered by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Center of Excellence (CJCCoE) in NEOMED’s Department of Psychiatry through American Rescue Plan Act funding awarded by the Office of Criminal Justice Services.
