Workgroups

The Opioid Response Task Force Small Groups are community-led workgroups that address pertinent issues related to Southeastern Colorado's opioid response efforts through multi-sectoral and cross-organizational collaboration. The TSRG team provides administrative and facilitation support to these workgroup meetings.

Harm Reduction

The Harm Reduction work group is committed to reducing the harm associated with drug use through a variety of public health interventions. Our approach is rooted in the fundamental belief that all people deserve safety and dignity, regardless of whether they use drugs. We do not treat drug use as a moral failing but focus on saving lives and protecting the health of both people who use drugs and their communities. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, individuals who use substances are more likely to suffer from HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, mental health disorders, and chronic conditions such as cancer and lung disease. Our work group recognizes that individuals inherently deserve services that promote health, irrespective of their drug use. We implement evidence-based harm reduction strategies to minimize the negative consequences of drug use. These activities include expanding access to harm reduction interventions and integrating harm reduction into general medical care to provide comprehensive support.
