NEW RESOURCE: Did you know that the TalkNowAZ.com website is now available in Spanish? 

Coalitions around the state continue to implement resources from the Rise of Fentanyl toolkit. With the success of these resources and media campaign, the coalitions that make up SACLA are turning their focus to the methamphetamine problem. SACLA members are currently working to create resources for a methamphetamine toolkit to compliment the fentanyl resources already being disseminated in our communities.
TLC is a tool that officers can use to communicate to schools when a child has been exposed to trauma. As we have watched the program grow, we have recognized the need to provide an even more intensive tool for identifying and reporting traumatic experiences. TLC is working on a new web application that will lead officers through a series of checkboxes that are weighted indicators for abuse and child trafficking. If the score is found in the moderate or high risk zone, it then gives the officer a call to action.  

Trauma for Breakfast has a new podcast every two weeks that shares the stories, science, and healing of how to better understand and care for those who have experienced trauma.
