Lunch Break With The Village

Mobile Recovery and Harm Reduction Support

September 19, 2024

On Lunch Break With The Village we focused on an innovative mobile substance use recovery and harm reduction support service available in Greater Hartford.

We learned about The Village Expanded Recovery Vehicle (VERV) and how it provides recovery and harm reduction support to individuals and family members who’ve been impacted by opiate use. You’ll hear about VERV’s free services like peer support, connection to treatment, Narcan, one-time Suboxone Bridge prescription, as well as the power of partnership with our friends at iCare Health Network.

Our guests were:

  • Bill Lachut, Village Program Manager
  • Charlie Bolling, Village Recovery Coach
  • Renee Cole, ICare Health Network Director of Specialty Programs and Strategy
