Program Details
The Clinton Foundation is excited to bring the Empowering Faith Leaders program to Savannah, Georgia in partnership with Georgia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Savannah’s Interfaith Addiction and Recovery Coalition, and Georgia Council on Substance Abuse. The Empowering Faith Leaders Program equips faith leaders from across traditions with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to address addiction and the overdose crisis in their communities. Faith leaders learn about local prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction services, and explore how different faith traditions view substance use, addiction, and recovery. This is an opportunity to join a state-wide and national network of faith leaders working to address these important health issues. Between the months of February and September 2022, faith leaders who participate will attend eleven virtual learning sessions that are two hours in length (see the schedule below). During the sessions, faith leaders participate in discussions and trainings led by local and national experts. All participating faith leaders will receive funding support in the amount of $2,000.00 and technical assistance to plan and execute a community-based engagement project - virtual or in-person - during the program period to bring the information and resources back to their communities.
