How to become a registered Opioid Overdose Prevention Program (OOPP)

Opioid Overdose Prevention Programs can train community members and other professionals to administer naloxone. Additionally, OOPP’s are able to distribute naloxone free of charge without a prescription. For more information on how to become an OOPP, visit the New York State Department of Health Website.

Screening Brief Intervention Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)

SBIRT is an evidence-based approach to identifying patients who use alcohol and other drugs at risky levels with the goal of reducing and preventing related health consequences, disease, accidents and injuries. Risky substance use is a health issue and often goes undetected.

SBIRT is a quick, comprehensive screening tool to identify risk behaviors and intervene before a substance use disorder develops. Further, SBIRT can be done by many types of providers and professionals.

For more information on SBIRT or to schedule a training visit New York State OASAS.

Mission & Vision

SIPCW seeks to create a healthier Staten Island by bringing together partner organizations and community members to address pressing wellness needs and give all Staten Islanders a chance to live their best lives. The focus of our efforts is in communities and populations with the greatest health inequities such as BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identifying.

Our vision is that our entire community has a shared understanding of the systemic conditions such as racism, classism, and heterosexism, contributing to wellness and the resources to ensure that all individuals and families have the knowledge and access to what they need to live their healthiest lives.

Recognizing the Indigenous History of SI

The Staten Island Partnership for Community Wellness is located on Munsee Lenape land. Native communities called present-day Staten Island Aquehonga Manacknong. The Lenape sold the land we now call Staten Island to European colonizers under duress in 1670. To learn more about this transaction, see Andrew Lipman’s article, “A Hard Bargain.” Today, roughly 300 Ramapough Lunaape tribal members live on Staten Island.
