Addiction and overdose disrupt every community across the country. Almost two-thirds of U.S. adults say they or a family member have been addicted to drugs/alcohol, experienced homelessness due to addiction, or had a drug overdose. Thankfully, we are beginning to see a hopeful decline due to life-saving prevention, treatment, and overdose reversal interventions. However, overdose deaths in rural areas and communities of color continue to rise. To prevent further suffering, we urgently need approaches that meet the needs of those most at risk.

Join the National Overdose Prevention Network(NOPN) on Wednesday, June 10 from 11:30am - 1:00pm PT to examine strategies that build meaningful and sustainable connections with those who are often overlooked or hard to reach. We will hear from a panel of speakers who will share their experience navigating successful outreach approaches with rural, black, faith-based, and tribal communities. Afterwards we will hear from you and take your questions during the moderated discussion.

This is the final webinar in our series, Building a Movement of Knowledge, Action and Empathy to Prevent Overdose Deaths. Our goal is to increase knowledge of overdose prevention among a broad audience including community members, law enforcement, parents, first responders, educators, teachers, clergy, service providers, businesses, librarians, and more. Help us build an informed, actionable, and empathetic movement by making sure members of your community are registered for this webinar, and check out the recordings from past events by going to www.nopn.org/webinars.

This Web Forum is sponsored by the National Overdose Prevention Network, and produced by Dialogue4Health, both programs of PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact.

Support for this webinar series was made possible through funding from the California Health Care Foundation.
