About Us
The mission of the Berkshire Overdose Addiction Prevention Collaborative is to collectively implement local policy, practice, systems, and/or environmental changes to reduce harms from opioid and stimulant use, and to prevent substance-related deaths and harmful impacts throughout the 32 municipalities in Berkshire County. The collaborative includes community organizations, medical and behavioral health practitioners, local government, law enforcement, housing agencies, workforce development, prevention, treatment/recovery providers, education, people in recovery and individual citizens alike. BOAPC provides an engaging space for these partners to work together to identify needs in the community and implement solutions.
