Services
How we help counties plan, spend, and show impact.
Every service maps to an approved use under Exhibit E of the national opioid settlement, so it can be reported cleanly.

Together we set priorities, budgets, timelines, and reporting plans that fit the rules.
Build & train
We help launch programs and give your team the skills and tools to run them.

Request the survey →Opening the table: a county's settlement process
The situation. A Wisconsin county was starting to decide how to use its opioid settlement funds and needed a process the public could trust.
What we did. Rick Rose, then a county supervisor, led a countywide public listening session on settlement spending. He helped set up the county's opioid settlement subcommittee, served as its chair, and made sure people most affected by the crisis had a seat at the table.
The result. People most affected by the crisis gained a formal voice on the body shaping the county's settlement decisions.
