Genesee-Orleans-Wyoming Opioid Task Force
About Genesee-Orleans-Wyoming Opioid Task Force
UConnectCare is pleased to be the fiscal agent and a lead agency in the GOW Opioid Task Force. The Task Force currently has over 400 members from across the tri-county region. Members represent various sectors of the community, including public health, mental health, human services, local government, substance use disorder treatment and recovery agencies, law enforcement, EMS, faith-based groups, health systems and medical practitioners, education, businesses, concerned individuals, families, and individuals in recovery.
UConnectCare's Harm Reduction services encourage any positive change.
Harm Reduction is an evidence-based approach that is critical to engage with people who use drugs and equip them with life-saving tools. Harm Reduction does not ignore drug use in our community, but shines a light to provide non-judgmental care to increase the quality of life of people who use drugs throughout Genesee and Orleans Counties. It allows autonomy for people to prevent overdose, drug related injuries, and other preventable diseases.
UConnectCare’s Harm Reduction team can provide safer use supplies and referrals to community services for housing, food, and clothing, and provide transportation in most cases. Harm Reduction peers and case managers are available to meet people wherever they are at in their substance use.
Office Location: 5130 East Main St, Suite 5, Batavia, NY 14020
