The goal of the series is to engage diverse community voices and create space and structure to hear from these communities about the following issues:
- How has COVID-19 further highlighted racial and ethnic disparities?
- What is the impact on the communities and those with substance use disorder?
- What is the impact on the SU prevention, treatment and recovery workforces?
- What strategies and resources are needed to mitigate these impacts?
