Project Opioid JAX

9/1/2022

0 Comments

 
Founded in 2018, Project Opioid was created in response to the raging opioid epidemic that claimed the lives of nearly 450,000 people across America in one decade. Since then the opioid crisis driven by pervasive use of fentanyl, has reached unprecedented heights. This new dynamic is contributing to the greatest mental health, substance abuse, and overdose crisis in U.S. history. The startling new data on opioid overdose and death calls for leaders to urgently embrace a different approach to solving the overdose epidemic.

Jacksonville is one of five regions in Florida included in the expansion of Project Opioid, a Central Florida-based coalition created to confront the opioid overdose crisis in communities across the state. A grant awarded by the Florida Blue Foundation has funded the program’s expansion and Regional Super Advocates have been designated in Florida’s largest markets— Jacksonville, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.

At Project Opioid, we empower leaders to confront the overdose crisis. We align leaders around one shared goal: to reduce opioid deaths in their communities. We educate leaders on how to build a coalition, launch a regional overdose initiative, and promote high-level advocacy to transform and save the greatest number of lives in their communities. 

A few updates from us here at Project Opioid JAX:
  • Please see attached the report we released at our press conference today called, The Changing Overdose Crisis in JAX.
  • Check out our new Youth Awareness Campaign in partnership with CCA and North Florida HIDTA at AnythingButObvious.com.
  • The Beaches Overdose Awareness Seminar in partnership with Mayors Glasser, Brown, Hoffman, and City Council Vice President Salem will take place on September 15th, 2022, from 6:30pm – 8:00pm, at the Beaches Vineyard Church. Register here 
  • The Employer Workforce Webinar Series will begin on October 4th from 12pm – 12:30pm. This free educational resource is designed to equip business owners and HR professionals with simple ways to create prevention-minded and recovery-supportive workplaces. Register here.
  • Upcoming partner events:
    • August 31st (5:30 p.m.) – Remember Without Stigma (Clay County OD2A – Flyer Attached)
    • September 8th (6:00 p.m.) – How to Grow Your Business Through Gift Giving (ReThreaded)
