MISSION:
The Called2Duty (C2D) initiative creates a collaborative approach to the opioid crisis that affects communities across Arkansas. Our goal is to create a campaign that helps protect the welfare of Service Members, Veterans, and their Families (SMVF) alongside all Arkansans.
VISION:
The Called2Duty (C2D) initiative is designed around two core objectives:
Community Engagement and Individual Empowerment. Through these objectives, C2D focuses on raising awareness, providing training, and taking action against the opioid crisis.
PRIORITIES:
Education: Spreading information and resources across Arkansas about the opioid crisis.
Prevention: Community-based strategies that engage SMVF and citizens to work towards minimizing opioid dependency and its consequences.
Safe Streets & Minimizing Crime Wave: Engage the SMVF in community safety initiatives, resulting in the reduction of opioid-related crime.
Workforce Reintegration: Facilitating the reintegration of SMVF into the workforce, promoting economic stability, and providing opportunities for those affected by the opioid crisis.
Recovery Support: Introducing a Veteran Peer Support National Pilot model to sustain recovery among SMVF.
Overdose Reduction: Training individuals to administer Naloxone and recognize signs of overdose thus educating and empowering efforts to reduce opioid overdoses.
Maximizing State Resources: Utilize present state resources to achieve program goals and ensure sustainability.
