About this Action board
NO DECISIONS ABOUT US WITHOUT US
This community action board aims to create a safe space for people who use drugs or are in early recovery from using drugs to come together and provide feedback on substance use and harm reduction services and resources available in Pima County, address gaps and barriers that exist, and discuss any other matter they identify related to substance use. These discussions amplify the voices of people who use drugs to help impact influencing decisions in policy, funding, and resources.
Accomplishments
