S2 E2: Crossing the Prevention Bridge to Treatment and Recovery: The SUD Equity Journey - a podcast by Southeast ATTC

This episode is a product of the Southeast TTC Critical Thought Leaders Collaboration.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking on health equity/health disparities from the lens of innovation and how to connect substance use prevention to treatment/recovery efforts. We speak with Nicole Augustine on how the environment can pose barriers and challenges for organizations to properly serve. 

Furthermore, we have a chance to discuss a national discussion (Addiction and Prevention Technology Transfer Center collaboration) surrounding emerging issues around COVID-19 and social determinants of health (SDH) for the substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery workforce. The initial listening session framed the ongoing and emerging issues and subsequent strategic discussions to engage key communities, the intent was to gather strategies and resources to identify emerging best practices that can support underserved and/or communities of color.

Nicole also introduces her position and future projects of purpose.
