Today is International Overdose Awareness Day💜

It is an opportunity to reflect on the impact of overdose, acknowledge the experiences of loved ones, and increase awareness about harm reduction. At REALab, our research explores Naloxone and the loved ones' experiences.

She’s run into a funding snag and could really use the community’s help recruiting participants.
