Illinois MAR Learning Collaborative Teams, Partners, and Colleagues

Please save the date for an in-person conference on April 20^th, taking place at the Bloomington-Normal Marriot Hotel in Bloomington, IL, for the Illinois Learning Collaborative to Support Medication Assisted Recovery Implementation for Justice-Involved Populations. Please note that this event is open and free to all individuals interested in attendance with advance registration.

Highlights from the agenda include:

• MAR for Justice-Involved Individuals: Information and guidance from the national legal landscape and changing policy landscape in Illinois (including deflection and the SAFE-T Act)
• Innovative practices for maximizing treatment practices in jail settings (including long-acting injectable medications, cohorted housing, and MAR NOW)
• Cross-sector coordination with key partners and stakeholders (including drug courts, probation, and parole)

We anticipate a day-long session and will provide more details, including registration and agenda specifics, in the coming weeks.

This event is open to anyone who would like to learn more about implementing or expanding medication assisted recovery (MAR) programs in your local jails and county justice system, so please share this information widely with interested stakeholders in your community. We welcome everyone to attend.
