OCH&S is developing programs guided by evidence-based practices and community input. This includes hiring social workers, outreach workers, and other professionals who can assist individuals and first responders in situations that require longer-term support such as those involving mental and behavioral health conditions, homelessness, and substance use.
The new OCH&S website includes:
social service navigation information and additional resources,
nationally-recognized Opioid Overdose Dashboard used to identify and address trends in overdose prevention and harm reduction strategies,
job postings for open OCH&S positions,
information about the Neighborhood Health and Safety Academy, and
Public Service Announcements (PSAs)
