Commissioners asked to back Recovery Ready Community certification and anti‑stigma training
Summary
A speaker asked the commission to support Clark County’s application for Recovery Ready Community certification, to complete a 30‑minute anti‑stigma training for officials and first responders, and to participate in a site visit with a planned January 2025 application submission.
During public comment and recognition, commissioners heard a request to support a Recovery Ready Community certification process. An unidentified speaker (Speaker 1) outlined that the certification evaluates prevention, treatment and recovery support efforts and said the county’s ASAP overdose prevention committee, together with community partners, is preparing an application with a goal to submit by January 2025.
The speaker asked commissioners to complete a 30‑minute online anti‑stigma training aimed at public officials and first responders, and to participate in a site visit so certifiers can see the commission’s support for the initiative. She said the program can identify gaps and help the county qualify for grants and resources if certified.
Commissioners asked timing and logistics questions; staff offered to email the training link and said the commission would be asked to take part in the site visit and provided general support. No formal city resolution or vote on certification was recorded at the meeting.
