The selected subrecipient will collaborate with MSDH and multi-sector partners to strengthen overdose prevention and response capacity among first responders, community organizations, families, and other key stakeholders. Activities are anticipated to include the development and delivery of in-person and virtual training on naloxone administration and overdose reversal, overdose awareness and prevention strategies, Mississippi Good Samaritan laws, safety measures regarding emerging drug threats, and referral and linkage to treatment and recovery support services post overdose. The subrecipient will also support community and partner engagement; development and implementation of educational and training materials; Train-the-Trainer activities; resource mapping activities that identify community training needs, available resources, assets, and service gaps; collection and monitoring of program performance information; performance tracking and reporting; and use of findings to identify opportunities for improvement and support continuous quality improvement. The subrecipient will be expected to maintain appropriate documentation of activities, deliverables, and performance measures and provide routine programmatic and performance reports in accordance with MSDH, SAMHSA, and applicable federal requirements.
