The Rural Justice Collaborative (RJC) has released a series of Lessons Learned for rural communities working toward solutions in their communities. Drawing directly from the experiences of those working on the front lines, this series showcases effective strategies and collaborative approaches aimed at improving outcomes for individuals affected by substance use in rural communities. Through firsthand accounts and practical examples, we are working to inspire and inform justice, health, behavioral health, service, and community stakeholders dedicated to advancing positive outcomes in their rural communities. Funded by the State Justice Institute and produced for the RJC by Mtn Craft in collaboration with our partner Rulo Strategies, this series highlights insights and lessons learned from rural leaders actively engaged in cross-sector partnerships.
