Our Massachusetts Substance Use Helpline staff invite you to join a virtual, guided provider conversation on Thursday, September 17th from 9:30am – 12:00pm to bring together service and treatment providers working in the Central MA region.

Our hope is to connect providers across different sectors from the Central MA region to:
• process experiences and challenges we as providers have faced due to COVID-19,
• engage in conversations to share creative strategies to address these challenges in our work, and
• provide resources and best practices to continue our work while facing challenges and barriers exacerbated by the pandemic.

In this equity-focused conversation, we will work together to process the impacts of COVID-19—particularly on communities of color, and learn from one another through facilitated discussions in small and large groups. This conversation will be a space for all to share resources and best practices for continuing our work in light of COVID-19 as it continues to develop. Through this conversation and Helpline data-driven discussions, we hope to build connections with providers to enhance our understanding of the needs of different communities and to better serve these populations.
