Transforming our Communities: Learning Together, Supporting Each Other
4th Annual Transforming Our Communities Gathering
LOCATION: Squaxin Island Community Kitchen - 70 SE Squaxin Lane, Shelton, WA 98584
TIME: 8:30am - 3:00pm PT
This annual 2-day event aims to bring diverse participants together to understand the perspectives of people who use drugs, understand the importance of equitable access to care and services, build partnerships and connect people within their communities, and brainstorm new and fresh ideas.
This year’s event will be hybrid, with virtual presentations and panels and regional in-person gatherings around Washington State for networking and discussion.
Join us for presentations and panels on:
- Grief and loss
- Harm reduction
- Drug checking
- Youth and opioid use disorder
- Region-specific content planned by local teams (in-person only)
Attendees will be able to gather at a regional site for in-person conversation. You'll be able to view the virtual content on site in the morning and then participate in discussions and afternoon presentations on how this impacts your region within the state. Alternatively, you can watch the virtual sessions in the morning and then join your regional site in person for the afternoon in person discussions. You can choose your options in the registration info below.
Feel free to bring your own lunch or explore food options near the site during the extended lunch break. Light refreshments will be provided in the morning and afternoon.
There are a limited number of seats available. Please only register if you are planning on coming in-person. If you change your mind or can no longer make it in-person, please reach out to Ali Lenox at alilenox@uw.edu
