This is a report from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing that provides local and state health departments with information, resources, and tools to implement effective strategies to support linking people who are at risk of opioid overdose to care. It is organized by seven strategies aligned with health department essential functions. There are examples of successful initiatives implemented throughout the United States.
