Community Response Workgroup
Tribal leaders shared that they are hearing from people in their communities who are not specifically trained for responding to opioid and fentanyl use and its impacts but who are interacting with people who use and/or are impacted by opioid and fentanyl use. These frontline workers are people like childcare providers, bus drivers, case managers, Indian Child Welfare workers, teachers and other school staff, office staff in non-clinical settings, etc. This workgroup will focus on addressing the following priorities:
- Strengthening the Tribal-State-Local cross jurisdictional coordination to address the crisis
- Declaring a public health emergency
- Creating and reviewing list of resources and resource documents for this priority to support development of Tribal Opioid and Fentanyl Response Resource Library
