Who we serve
We listen to and learn from the communities most impacted by opioid loss and the profound effects of systemic inequities. Our conversations with community members and leaders inform every training, community event, and resource we create, as our work centers on building together. That means supporting community wisdom, local leadership, and solutions that originate from the heart of each region in Illinois.
How did we get here?
At the Opioid Learning and Response Collaborative, we recognize that meaningful change begins when we listen and learn together. That’s why our approach relies on cultural humility and high-quality training resources that honor the wisdom already present in the communities we serve across Illinois.
We believe in the strength and resilience of every community and the power of working together toward healing.
Together, we’re building a healthier Illinois—one community at a time.
