Washington State University and Oregon State University are partnering for the Region 10 Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Collaborative funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
The multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Elizabeth Weybright (WSU), Dr. Allison Myers (OSU) and Dr. Michelle Peavy (WSU) aims to provide training to rural communities to help them prevent and treat opioid use disorder across all of Region 10 (Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Idaho).
We will provide more information on Training and Technical Assistance, Webinars, and Health Innovation in the Northwest Region.
