Applications must be received by September 2nd

Summit County Opiate Abatement Advisory Council (SCOAAC) in partnership with the Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADM) Board announces the availability of funds to address the opioid crisis in Summit County.  Funding is available because of a landmark federal lawsuit that resulted in a settlement of more than $104 million and local ADM Board levy funds to ameliorate the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic on Summit County.

This funding is to be utilized to facilitate systemic and top-down organizational changes to implement trauma informed care (TIC) across Summit County. Applicants will utilize an evidence based approach to complete a county-wide environmental scan of current TIC efforts, readiness for change assessments, creation of learning communities, and act to as a hub for trauma informed care policies and standards within the community. More information about the funds and how to apply are available here. All submissions must be received by 4:00pm on September 2, 2022.
