On June 22 and July 7, the Center for Drug Safety and Services Education at ADAI hosted a two-part, FREE virtual summit to bring people together to improve health, equity, and justice for people who use drugs.

The summit, titled Transforming Our Communities: Health, Equity, and Justice for People Who Use Drugs, had the following goals:

• Increase understanding of the perspectives of people who use drugs in order to increase insight and compassion so that services are both welcoming and impactful.
• Increase understanding of the importance of equitable access to health care and other necessary services.
• Connect people within their communities to build strong working relationships that strengthen capacity to deliver great care that is equitable and just.
• Build partnerships to catalyze and energize ongoing regional and statewide work.
• Walk away with fresh ideas to improve practice to address the needs of people who use drugs in their community.
