Community Summits

Participants and steering committee members periodically engage fellow service providers through Community Summits to explore specific issues and topics, share best practices, and discuss eligibility and referral processes. These summits are usually longer and include a panel or other presentation during the first half of the summit, followed by a Q&A or breakouts.

The Veterans Collaborative and Grunt Style Foundation hosted the first Massachusetts Veterans Harm Reduction Summit in collaboration with VFW Department of Massachusetts / Massachusetts VFW Foundation, Mad in America, HeartCore Collective, Irreverent Warriors and 22Mohawks on December 11th at Boston Police VFW Post 1018, learning from experts alongside impacted veterans and survivors exploring safe prescribing and deprescribing and reviewing the available public health data involving military and veteran suicide and overdose deaths in Massachusetts and beyond.
