Training Opportunity – Overdose Safety Planning in Rural Communities, January 30
A significant challenge facing rural community members is how to work with those who are struggling with opioid use and other substance use while effectively intervening to reduce the risks associated with overdose. Safety planning is an important aspect of overdose prevention.
In keeping with harm reduction principles, this webinar, Overdose Safety Planning in Rural Communities will explore best practices for overdose prevention so that community members feel more empowered to conduct safety planning with those individuals at risk.
