Overdose Awareness Day - Aug 31st

Dear subscribers,

Today (Aug 31) is Overdose Awareness Day.

Please find below a link to a new website (put together by the Int'l Harm Reduction Association) bringing together some some critical documents (from research to advocacy) on overdose.

Opiod overdose continues to be one of the main causes of mortality among our drug user clients in virtually every country where we work with IDUs. Our flagship program on this issue is PSI Russia, implementing an Innovations Fund-funded project to reduce overdose deaths through outreach and distribution of Naloxone.
