Thank You!
Thank you for your interest in the Northwest Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Collaborative (NW ROTAC). We are honored and privileged to have served rural communities throughout Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in “doing what works” since 2022, guided by the expertise and support of community partners and rural behavioral health providers like you. As our grant funding comes to a close, our training and technical assistance activities, as well as website updates, will end on September 29, 2025. The website is being revised to serve as a repository of on-demand trainings and resources.
NW ROTAC is actively working on improving the accessibility of our website to better serve people with disabilities.
While we recognize that our efforts are still a work in progress and far from perfect, we are committed to making ongoing enhancements. We greatly value feedback and input from our users, as it helps us create a more inclusive and accessible experience for everyone. If you have comments or suggestions, please let us know by filling out this short survey.
