May 2023 PAR Newsletter: New Office, Leadership Academy, And More
Happy May!
It has been a whirlwind of a month! April was filled with conferences, financial literacy workshops, and new funding announcements. We are so excited to share that the Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission announced their first round of funding to incredible organizations. Those community partners will be able to provide services to communities that have been detrimentally impacted by the opioid crisis. If you had submitted an application, please know that there will be more opportunities to work on getting these funds across the state. We encourage you to follow-up and reapply as necessary.
May is Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month. We are constantly looking for opportunities to hold space for our friends from other walks of life. Please make sure to recognize our friends and learn more about the roots of this movement, here. You can find local events happening around the commonwealth to celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage.
Additionally, we are teeing up to a busy summer! It was announced that MOBILIZE RECOVERY will be in our city hosting an event! This national recovery advocacy movement continues to be a beacon of awareness. We are so grateful to be working alongside them to bring more opportunities of conversations. The more we can show that recovery is happening around the country, the more we can change the narrative of what recovery looks like.
We are excited to work alongside you as we grow into the next chapter of our organization.
In solidarity,
-Tara Hyde
