The Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board of Cuyahoga County recognizes the critical importance of a community-driven approach to tackle the overdose crisis. We are proud to have funded the Slavic Village Needs Assessment and Community Prevention Plan and know that University Settlement, with its century-long history of service, is uniquely positioned to lead the prevention plan as described in this report. The report speaks for itself—it is thorough and concise, filled with voices from the community and is practical. The plan’s emphasis on creating safe spaces, treating mental illness, engaging in peer outreach, and promoting harm reduction efforts aligns perfectly with the multifaceted nature of the overdose crisis.
