The Putnam County Coalition for Health & Wellness Deterra and Narcan Distribution Initiative is a vital response to the rising concerns of prescription drug misuse and opioid overdoses. Deterra pouches provide a safe, at-home solution for deactivating unused medications, reducing the risk of misuse and environmental harm, while Narcan kits, which rapidly reverse opioid overdoses, are essential for saving lives in emergencies, particularly given the prevalence of synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
Our initiatives not only prioritize public health and safety by equipping the community with life-saving tools but also aim to break down stigmas surrounding substance misuse and recovery. Through training sessions and outreach events, we empower community members with the knowledge and resources needed to respond confidently to overdose situations, promoting a culture where prevention, treatment, and support are accessible and normalized.
The Credible Mind initiative is central to our mission of enhancing mental health accessibility in Putnam County. As a free, 24/7 online platform, Credible Mind provides thousands of vetted, expert-rated resources covering over 100 topics such as stress, anxiety, depression, and resilience. With interactive assessments and a variety of content like videos, podcasts, and articles, the platform supports individuals in tracking their mental health progress confidentially and at their own pace. Since its launch, Credible Mind has supported 3,842 users, empowering them to take control of their mental well-being and fostering mental health literacy across the community.
This initiative aligns with our broader goal to reduce stigma and provide continuous access to evidence-based mental health support. By integrating local resources into the platform, residents can easily connect with in-person and virtual services tailored to their needs. Through Credible Mind, we are not just offering resources but creating a supportive pathway for building resilience and proactive self-care. Our aim is to expand its reach, focusing on youth engagement and promoting a culture where mental health care is accessible, normalized, and supported within Putnam County.
