Innovative SLU Psychology-Community Healthcare Partnership Will Target a Response to the Opioid Crisis
Scaling UP is a federally funded, Graduate Psychology Education (GPE), training grant with the aim of preparing and increasing workforce capacity for increasing access to opioid use disorder prevention and treatment services. This competitive application was awarded to Drs. Terri Weaver and Jeremiah Weinstock within the clinical psychology program at Saint Louis University in partnership with Family Care Health Centers and Chestnut Health Systems, community healthcare agencies who provide opioid use disorder prevention and treatment. This three-year project (2019-2022) leverages this partnership by enhancing OUD specialty training, increasing treatment access for underserved patients, and supporting prevention services.
