Today's agency highlight is Social Model Recovery Systems! UCEPP-SMRS staff successfully organized the 23rd Annual Black History Month Event, bringing together 200 participants and collaborating with service providers like My Friends House, The Department of Mental Health, and the Wesley Clinic. The event featured games, food, music, and art, fostering a sense of unity and celebrating the black diaspora. By hosting this event annually, we aim to dispel negative perceptions of Skid Row and create a safe space within the parks, countering media propaganda. This event is part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the Skid Row community and drive positive change.

Tranq is the latest emerging substance that is being sold to people by drug dealers in many states in the U.S. This drug is not approved by the FDA for human use, therefore pose serious health risks if ingested. It's important to stay informed and up to date on substance-related issues and promote health for the betterment and safety of our community.

CoPALM held a community town hall on Thursday, April 20 to address the topic of fentanyl. Over 40 community members were able to attend and participate in an informational workshop about fentanyl facilitated by Dr. Siddarth Puri. Afterwards, Soo from KYCC and Darwin from IPS were able to lead a Narcan training. We then were able to listen to one of our fellow community members and his lived experiences struggling with substance use and his journey to sobriety. Thank you to all our guest speakers and everyone who attended our Town Hall. We hope that we can continue to spread awareness on the fentanyl epidemic and continue to build strong prevention efforts.
