The Center is hosting biweekly tele-mentoring opportunities for county and municipal leaders and stakeholders that have applied for or are interested in applying for opioid abatement funds.
Join us for this collaborative learning engagement - the South Carolina Community Opioid Response Initiatives (CORI). A virtual way to connect with other local leaders and South Carolina-based experts about how to:
- address the opioid crisis in your community
- consider your options for opioid abatement planning
- identify ways to implement approved abatement strategies
We'd love to see you there!
Project ECHO uses tele-mentoring to create a virtual community, allowing community partners to collaborate with each other and with specialists in real-time sessions. Each session includes a patient or community-based case study and a didactic lecture on a relevant topic to share knowledge and best practices. Project ECHO aims to reduce health disparities and improve individual and community outcomes by enabling better care and collaboration in local communities.

Supported by the South Carolina Center of Excellence in Addiction the CORI ECHO is an educational and mentoring platform for the counties and municipalities across SC to interact with both specialists and each other. The goal of the CORI ECHO is to advance best practices for planning and implementing community initiatives that address the opioid abatement strategies. The CORI ECHO creates a space where attendees support and mentor each other with the goal of fostering a community where “All Teach and All Learn.”
Topics center on the opioid abatement strategies that can be found on the SCORF website.
