Indigenous Communities Response Team

ORN works with Native communities, SAMHSA Tribal Opioid Response (TOR) grantees, and anybody, to provide free training and education to address opioid, stimulant and all substance use disorders. We provide educational resources and meaningful training opportunities that are culturally relevant and considerate of the strengths and traumas that affect Native community wellness. In effort to provide dedicated support, ORN established an Indigenous Communities Response Team. This team is comprised of Tribal professionals and strong allies with significant experience working with and within Native communities.
