Sustainability

This session focused on FY 21 RCORP-Implementation III. Grantees received an overview of the upcoming Sustainability Plan Year 2 deliverable, including a walkthrough of the template.

Using Tuckman’s model of “forming, storming, norming, and performing” to look at team growth, the speakers shared the strengths and challenges of forming and sustaining two RCORP Consortia in Eastern Virginia.

This session covered how primary prevention efforts fit within each of the various stages of the Continuum of Care Model. Attendees learned how to (1) engage community stakeholders from each of the 12 sectors and (2) evidence-based practices to not only inform, but to reduce stigma and to create open dialogue as it relates to SUD.

Drake Cooper partnered with JBS International, Inc. (JBS) to help grantees increase their capacity and sustainability through campaign marketing materials built to combat community stigma surrounding substance use disorder (SUD) and OUD.

Wish lists for consortiums or coalitions often include words like “effective,” “engaged,” “productive,” “sustainable,” “powerful,” “growing,” and “motivated.”

Learn about sustainability in the grant cycle to maintain successful programs to improve the health of rural Americans. Each community will have different needs to be successful. The RHIhub and Georgia Health Policy Center has framework, strategies, and toolkits for varying programs.

OMNI Institute, in partnership with the JBS RCORP-TA team, created the 2022-2023 RCORP-TA Data Learning Collaborative (LC) for grantees to come together and share knowledge, talk through challenges, and build relationships with one another. This LC will build upon the foundation established in the prior 2022 RCORP-TA Data Learning Collaborative.

This session provided information on program updates and the Year 2 Sustainability template due September 2022.

This session began with a discussion of the timeline, PIMS, sustainability plan, and no cost extensions with the Implementation I cohort. The Implementation II cohort joined the discussion and information was provided on sustaining change in communities.

This packet presents Implementation III grantees with tools and strategies to support implementation activities that expand the options for SUD/OUD services across the care spectrum, thereby helping rural residents in your community to prevent SUD/OUD, access treatment, and move toward recovery.
