COPN Accelerator Program
In 2018, COPN launched an Accelerator Program to support local coalitions to strive for greater impact within their communities. Our work is focused on preventing new addictions, increasing access to treatment, and stopping overdose deaths.
More than 30 coalitions share ideas, learn better methods, and discover the latest strategies to prevent new addictions, increase access to treatment, and stop overdose deaths.
100% of participants would recommend the program to colleagues
100% of participants say it improved their coalition performance and impact
100% agreed that the program’s use of experimental learning for applying program content to real projects is effective
100% expanded their professional network
“We are very thankful as a coalition for all of the support from the network over the last two years. It has not only helped us professionally but helped save lives in our community.”
