Community Services

Our Community Services encompass a range of programs, partnerships, and support services tailored to address the needs of our clients and community members. Some programs are grant-sponsored and administered by Hayden Institute staff, while others are collaborations with local community organizations. Our goal is to collaborate effectively in order to diminish disparities within our community.

Overdose Fatality Review

The purpose of an OFR is to effectively identify system gaps and innovative community-specific overdose prevention and intervention strategies.

In practice, OFRs involve a series of confidential individual death reviews by a multidisciplinary team. A death review examines the life of a person who died of an overdose in terms of comorbidity, major health events, social-emotional trauma (including adverse childhood experiences), encounters with law enforcement and the criminal justice system, and treatment history.
