What is the Illinois Helpline?
Webinar: Thursday, February 24, 2022
Please join us on the last Thursday of any month, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm, to learn about the Illinois Helpline for Opioids and Other Substances. The Helpline is a centralized information and referral hub helping to connect individuals to harm reduction, recovery, and support services across the state.
Participating in this webinar will leave you with a greater understanding of the Illinois Helpline, including how to connect with us, how to connect people in your care to appropriate Substance Use Disorder services, and/or how to offer your services to Helpline callers. You will have a chance to ask questions about how the Illinois Helpline is organized and how to engage with the Provider Portal, and you will be invited to share feedback on your experience with the Helpline. You will also have an opportunity to network with others who support individuals experiencing Substance Use Disorder in Illinois.
