(1/4) Five years ago, the Center for Transformational Health Law (CTHL) was established in the wake of systemic failures and shortcomings in the #COVID19 response. Since its founding, the Center has played an essential role in supporting nearly every pillar of the global health architecture.

On this #WorldHealthDay, CTHL reflects on 5 years of impact:

@cody_j_thompson, a program coordinator with the Center on Addiction and Public Policy (CAPP) and the Center for Community Health Innovation (CCHI) at the O'Neill Institute, writes about bullying, masculinity, and recovery in his new @MsMagazine piece.

"I grew up believing something was wrong with me, when the real problem was the narrow definition of masculinity that shaped the minds of boys I grew up with."

#Masculinity #Bullying

[Cody Thompson, MPP @cody_j_thompson]

When we experience trauma, forgiving those who hurt us can feel impossible. Recovery has allowed me to cultivate compassion for the people who bullied me growing up. Now, one of my missions is to help those who once harmed me. @MsMagazine

@PolitiFact rated false JD Vance’s claim that Maine’s declining overdose deaths resulted from Trump’s border policies, noting that the decline began before the administration’s actions.

@ReginaLaBelle46, Director of the Center on Addiction Policy at the O’Neill Institute, said no single policy can be credited with certainty and pointed to expanded naloxone access and addiction treatment in jails and prisons as other likely contributors.

#NaloxoneTraining

[O'Neill Institute @oneillinstitute]

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day, a time to remember those we’ve lost and take action to prevent more overdoses. In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day, the Center on Addiction and Public Policy at the O’Neill Institute, in partnership with the Hoya DOPE Project at Georgetown University Medical Center and Hoyas for Recovery, is hosting a naloxone training and distribution session.

This training is designed to equip our community with the skills to use naloxone, a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid-related overdose. Every participant will receive naloxone upon completion of the training.
