Two free training opportunities were offered this past month to K-12 educators across the state through the Oklahoma READY Initiative.   

The Oklahoma READY Initiative is a statewide opioid abatement project of the Office of the Oklahoma Attorney General, funded through Oklahoma Opioid Abatement funds and supported by the Oklahoma Opioid Abatement Board.

Oklahoma READY equips students with the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices, build resilience, and avoid substance use, including the misuse of prescription medications and opioids. Participating schools receive the evidence-based Botvin LifeSkills Training project at no cost, along with training, implementation support, and stipends.

Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is accepting bids from potential suppliers to provide a contract for the purchase of services regarding Community Based Services Program. This program will include an array of evidence-based programs, policies, and/or practices planned and implemented at the local level by representative community coalitions to prevent risk factors contributing to substance use and related consequences.

Entities interested in this funding opportunity can combine their opioid settlement funds with this resource to expand and sustain services in their community. Opioid Abatement Grant staff are happy to brainstorm with your team on how to braid opioid settlement dollars with other existing state or federal resources.

Naloxone Distribution is one of the eight priority funding strategies adopted by the Opioid Abatement Board in 2025. Naloxone is a safe, highly effective medication used to reverse opioid overdoses and save lives. It works by blocking the effects of opioids to quickly restore breathing to someone who is overdosing.

This briefing document includes an overview of the medication, who is the target population, and what to consider as a community if you are interested in naloxone distribution as an opioid abatement strategy.
