Bold Initiative
The Bold Initiative supports overdose prevention and leadership development for people who use drugs. This initiative also seeks to address overdose variances in communities throughout Maryland. The initiative focuses on the creation of a trauma-informed training series tailored for outreach workers and providers who serve communities of people who use drugs. The initiative creates innovative interventions like the Peer Leadership Development Training, Youth Peer Prevention Curriculum, Maternal Health Curriculum, and Overdose Prevention for Seniors Curriculum, to specifically address the structural issues that hinder communities from accessing and retaining the lifesaving services provided by the state of Maryland.
