Overview:

The opioid overdose death rate in the United States has increased significantly. In this workshop, instructor Shannon Knox offers a jam-packed session on overdose rates and trends, overdose prevention, principles of harm reduction and how to apply them within your program, and innovative strategies for Narcan distribution. This workshop will include live viewing of a presentation (originally part of the CARE TA Center virtual conference in June 2021) and facilitated discussion focused on applying insights from the presentation to your daily work. Action planning will focus on implementing strategies to increase access to Narcan and applying harm reduction principles.
