ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the development and initial implementation of the Promotores de Bienestar (PDB) (Promoters of Wellbeing) training program, designed to increase outreach to and engage Latinx and other communities negatively affected by the opioid crisis in overdose prevention. This innovative culturally responsive and community-informed program is focused on increasing awareness of the intersections of mental health and substance use disorders, stigma reduction, strengthening-needed support systems, and administration of Narcan, the life-saving opioid reversal medication. The PdB Training Program provides a model for working with a broad range of partners, including community residents, as part of a collaborative program development process.

摘要

本文讨论了 Promotores de Bienestar (PDB)（幸福促进者）培训计划的制定和初步实施，该计划旨在扩大对拉丁裔和其他受到阿片类药物危机负面影响的社区的外展和参与，以预防过量服用。这项创新的文化响应和社区知情计划的重点是提高对精神健康和物质使用障碍、减少污名、加强所需支持系统以及使用可挽救生命的阿片类药物逆转药物 Narcan 的交叉点的认识。PdB 培训计划提供了一个与包括社区居民在内的广泛合作伙伴合作的模式，作为协作计划开发过程的一部分。
