This session will discuss the Imani Breakthrough Project. Imani is a community delivered, faith-based, person-centered, culturally informed, harm reduction recovery program that provides an integrated approach to engaging Black and Latinx people and other vulnerable individuals to substance use supports, by focusing on dimensions of holistic health and wellness, reconnecting people to their sense of community, and by providing harm reduction and telemedicine and referrals for MAT. Come learn about ways we can effectively collaborate with churches and people with lived/living experiences.
