As part of our funding from HRSA, our community of practice is tasked with developing workforce capacity in each of our communities. Each community developed an actionable workforce plan that addresses the gaps in the OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery workforce identified in the community needs assessment. By convening key workforce development partners and stakeholders to identify workforce needs, communities can better prepare for increasing access to services.
