Mentorship in Action: Overdose Fatality Review Site Mentee and Mentor Matching

Publication Date: 2/21/2025

Who wants to be a mentee? The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) facilitators will lead an engaging, interactive question-and-answer session, bringing together overdose fatality review (OFR) site mentees with experienced mentors to foster collaborative learning and support. Watch the mentor matching process as mentee sites share what they hope to gain from observing another OFR site and its current OFR challenges.  

Potential mentor match sites will explore parallel questions and insights with mentees. At the conclusion of each round, the mentees will be paired with a mentor based on their specific needs. Later in the session, former mentees will return to share their own experiences, highlighting how mentorship has enhanced their understanding and application of OFR. This peer-to-peer game show will highlight the realities faced by OFRs, site mentor and mentee experiences, and how to engage with the OFR Mentor Program.
