Overdose deaths are rising rapidly across Illinois, and we’re stepping up to make a difference! Join us on 8/28 for:
A Community Conversation: Ending Overdose Through Harm Reduction
The need for effective, life-saving solutions has never been greater. Harm reduction offers a practical approach to addressing this crisis, providing strategies and resources such as safe injection sites, needle exchange programs, and access to naloxone.
We believe in meeting people where they are and honoring each individual’s unique experiences. Evidence-based solutions that prioritize safety and respect are crucial in supporting our communities.
Our incredible panel includes:
? Tanya Sorrell, PhD, PMHNP-BC, Rush University
? Sam Rivera, OnPoint NYC
? Illinois State Representative, La Shawn K Ford
? Jenny Hua, Chicago Department of Public Health
Plus, experience a mock overdose prevention site, provided by the CHICAGO RECOVERY ALLIANCE and the Puerto Rico Project
This is a must-attend event to learn, share, and support evidence-based solutions that prioritize safety and respect. Let’s work together to end overdose and create safer
communities for everyone! ???
