WHAT
The 2024 All Hands Whatcom Opioid Summit is almost here! We hope you will join us to build on the momentum of the 2023 Opioid Summit with two full days of learning, community building, and action. The more we understand about the experiences of our youth people today, and the protective factors that reduce substance use disorders, the more impact we can have in building systems that result in health and well-being from an early age.
This year's Summit programming is focused on how the opioid/Fentanyl crisis is impacting our youth and young adults - from grounding in data and evidence-based practices, to building empathy through personal stories, to action planning for community investment, and so much more! Join us to learn from our community's youth and the organizations and individuals who support them. The summit will highlight community voices, promote shared learning around systems of substance use prevention and support, and amplify innovative strategies that support our youth into a healthy and thriving adulthood.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Everyone! We all have a role to play in responding to the opioid crisis and cultivating a community where our children, youth, and young adults thrive. Making the necessary changes and investments for our youth will require all of us - policy makers, teachers, funders, parents, families, neighbors, elders, schools, government leaders, youth, service providers, and most importantly, YOU!
COST
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and partners, All Hands Whatcom is able to host events without a cost to participants. In the spirit of “all hands,” and to help fuel future community learning opportunities, we offer two options for registration: Registration at no cost, or registration with a “donation” of $45 to help cover the cost of food. Please select the option that works best for you.
IMPORTANT: Space is limited. We ask participants to inform us if they need to cancel their registration, so that we may offer their spot to another member of our community.
We encourage guests to attend both days. Please email allhands@chuckanuthealthfoundation.org if you are only able to attend one of the days.
