How to Be A Recovery Ally

The Great Lakes ROTA, a collaboration of six midwestern states, is proud to offer a series of webinars around opioid treatment and recovery in the upcoming year. These webinars will be hosted by professionals in the harm reduction and opioid treatment field. Find out more and complete your registration below.

Please help us learn more about the needs of our region by completing a brief survey (takes less than 10 minutes). The survey aims to:
Identify priority mental health and substance use education topics for rural communities
Identify gaps and preferred methods for rural communities to access/receive mental health and substance use education.

The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and can be accessed at https://go.wisc.edu/t9z72m. The survey will be open for responses at least through April 4, 2022.  We especially need responses from those in Ohio, Minnesota, and Illinois!
