City of Mobile proclaims Project Persevere Day as The Helios Alliance Reports 117,444 Services Delivered in First Year of Opioid Abatement Program

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the impactful efforts of The Helios Alliance in combating the opioid crisis through Project Persevere in the City of Mobile. The initiative, recognized by the Mobile City Council, has delivered over 117,000 services in its first year, addressing prevention, treatment, survival programs, and coordination. With a cost of $143.81 per individual served, Project Persevere stands out as one of the most efficient uses of opioid settlement funds in the nation. The program's success is attributed to the collaborative efforts of 16 award recipients, selected through a competitive process, who have built a comprehensive continuum of care. This ecosystem of care, supported by The Helios Alliance, has fostered innovations and partnerships that extend beyond the formal grant requirements, creating a replicable model for other communities. Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis emphasized the importance of partnerships in the success of Project Persevere, which has involved more than 60 local organizations. The initiative not only provided direct services but also engaged 1,921 residents in community research, informing a media campaign to raise awareness about available resources. The Project Persevere website offers free, locally available treatment, prevention, and crisis resources, further supporting the community's efforts. The Helios Alliance, a national leader in data-driven opioid abatement strategy, continues to empower communities with reliable insights and strategies.
