Resource mapping is the process of identifying specific resources available in a community and developing strategies to use those resources.

The Spokane County resource map can be used to engage the community in conversations about the availability of services along the continuum from prevention to recovery. The six service categories of resources that are documented include prevention, treatment and intervention, harm reduction, reducing overdose and death, and supporting recovery. These service categories were adapted from a toolkit developed by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ).

Our community can use this resource map in several ways:

• As a resource for organizations looking to refer individuals to services.
• To start conversations about gaps in resources for our community and spur action planning to fill those gaps.
• To identify opportunities for increased collaboration or places to direct funding to grow existing resources.

Resources in our community are always changing and we will be periodically updating this tool. If you are aware of a resource that is missing or needs to be updated please submit that information here.
