Roundtables

Collaboration, Engagement, Advancing Health and Well-being, and Strategic Partnerships

When community stakeholders gather in a roundtable format, they contribute to a shared space where public agencies, academic partners, service providers, residents, and local leaders can engage in open dialogue, identify pressing public health challenges, and co-create evidence-informed strategies that promote healthy communities. These discussions not only strengthen relationships across sectors but also help translate community insights into action, support coordinated outreach efforts, and build collective capacity to address complex health and social issues. By emphasizing collaboration, engagement, and shared visioning, roundtables can help shape healthier futures and foster sustained community impact.

Stigma and Overdose Prevention

Building Awareness, Reducing Stigma, and Strengthening Community

The Office of Prevention Science & Recovery (OPSR) is proud to participate in Recovery Fest events across the Mid-State, connecting with individuals, families, and community partners to promote hope, understanding, and support for recovery.

Through these events, OPSR provides stigma-reduction education, recovery support tools, and resources designed to increase awareness and encourage more supportive communities for individuals impacted by substance use. By engaging directly with communities throughout the region, OPSR works to help reduce the stigma surrounding substance use and recovery while highlighting the importance of connection, compassion, and access to support.

Recovery Fest events also provide an opportunity to celebrate recovery, strengthen community partnerships, and remind individuals and families that recovery is possible and support is available.

This project is funded under a Grant Contract with the Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council.
