Met and corresponded with grantee 4 times between October and December of 2024 on 10/8, 10/18, 11/6, and 12/10
Summary of Successes
Grantee attended our COSSUP office hours on 10/18 and our COSSUP Cohort meeting OFR presentation on 12/5 (they are considering starting an OFR)
They have good police buy in/support
A methadone clinic opened on their main street that they will begin to work with
They just started a strategic overdose taskforce
National DEC trained their police department on identifying drug endangered children for their critical incident management system reporting
Summary of Challenges
They are still looking for a location for their recovery center to open, so they are on hold until they can open
In their most recent meeting with their service provider and Worcester PD, they noted that their contact success rate is low for post OD.
They were denied for the next round of COSSUP funding and would like to request feedback on their application to understand why they were denied
Summary of Resources Provided
Recording of our COSSUP Sustainability Cohort Call
We discussed the potential of conducting post OD visits at different hours throughout the day, since it sounds like the hours they currently do outreach are not working. They will dedicate 1 day out of the week to do after hours visits to try to reach people after a work day.
Advised the grantee to reach out to BJA in March about feedback on their COSSUP grant application for feedback.
Summary of Suggestions for further TA/next steps
Continue regularly scheduled TA coaching
Research alternative post OD outreach strategies
