By Cheyenne Price, RCORP Program Director
In a effort to strengthen community ties and express gratitude, the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) team from WestCare Kentucky spent a day networking with over 12 local businesses and individuals in our area. The team included Cheyenne Price, Program Director; Lynn Bradford, Peer Navigator; and Lauren Ray, Case Manager, who dedicated their day to connecting with key partners and supporters.
The purpose of this outreach was twofold: to extend gratitude to our consortium and community members for their support during our grant period and to explore opportunities for future collaboration. By visiting these organizations, WestCare Kentucky aimed to reinforce its commitment to being a valuable resource and asset to the community, fostering partnerships that benefit everyone involved in human services.
This initiative underscores WestCare Kentucky’s ongoing mission to build strong relationships within the community. By engaging directly with partners, the team emphasized the importance of collaboration in the human services field, highlighting the shared dedication to Uplifting the Human Spirit and improving the lives of individuals affected by opioid addiction and other challenges.
Each stop provided an opportunity to express gratitude and discuss how WestCare Kentucky and its partners can continue to work together to address community needs, particularly in combating opioid addiction and supporting overall community well-being.
The team received positive feedback and support from each organization, further emphasizing the strength of these partnerships and the shared commitment to improving the lives of those in our community.
Moving forward, WestCare Kentucky looks forward to continuing these collaborations and exploring new opportunities to serve as a trusted partner and advocate for positive change.
Cheyenne, Lynn, and Lauren engaged in meaningful conversations, sharing stories and experiences with our partners. These interactions highlighted the importance of collaboration and the shared goal of making a positive impact in our community.
