All here and all doing Deflection everywhere today are CO-founders in the global movement and field of Deflection, something new and innovative and creative that did not exist but 10 years ago. We continue to build CO-mmunity and to CO-llaborate to open up early, upstream pathways to treatment, housing, services, and recovery. Why wait for an arrest, crisis, or overdose to act? #DeflectionLeadsTheWay #PTACCSummit2023
And we're off! The PTACC Deflection Summit 2023 begins today in City and County of Denver. We are at max site capacity yet again this year and excited to have many firsts including the launching of Deflection for Veterans and welcoming International Deflection colleagues from three continents. Huge thanks to the Summit Planning and Advisory Committee for bringing this all to life!
