In addition to her new role, Goodman recently received a $1 million grant from the Rural Community Opioid Response Program, which will fund research to enhance rural systems of care for Upper Valley families impacted by opioid and other substance abuse disorders.
This project, entitled “Weaving the Safety Net: Enhancing Rural Systems of Care for Families Impacted by Opioid and Other Substance Use Disorders,” will build on the success of Goodman’s previous research on this topic.
With “Weaving the Safety Net,” Goodman’s team aims to build strong partnerships between Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, pregnant people, first responders, early childhood educators and community organizations. These partnerships will help expand patient-centered recovery support services throughout the Upper Valley.
