About: Learn how prevention providers and pharmacists can partner to implement a comprehensive co-dispense project that promotes safe opioid use and overdose prevention. This session will highlight practical strategies for offering medication lock boxes, disposal bags, and naloxone at the point of opioid dispensing, while demonstrating how to braid funding streams—including grants, government support, and reimbursement mechanisms—to sustain these efforts. Through real-world examples from North Carolina communities, participants will gain actionable guidance to build strong cross-sector partnerships and successfully plan, launch, or expand co-dispensing initiatives in pharmacy settings.
