On the eve of International #OverdoseAwareness Day (#IOAD), the DEA proposed major limits on treating OUD via telehealth. A 🧵from Boulder CEO Stephanie Papes Strong on what this means and what comes next. being.boulder.care/articles/ts-ti…

Today is International International Overdose Awareness Day . Community pharmacy teams play a vital role. Providing OST & naloxone in non judgemental, caring manner literally saves lives. Evidence shows stigma prevents pple accessing care. A huge unmet training need for most remains. Where to start?...

A solemn day for loss and remembrance. Every overdose death is a policy failure, not a human failure. RIP to the hundreds of thousands of daughters, sons, and loved ones today and everyday.

On #IOAD2024, I want to share this photo. This was handed in to the Austin SSP. A participant had one syringe, and it was ran over w a bike. So he used a straw to fashion a new syringe. Harm reduction doesn’t enable drug use. People who use drugs do so regardless.

This #IOAD I am feeling grateful to the true frontline workers - harm reductionists who aren’t routinely celebrated, who don’t have faculty jobs w/six-figure salaries, who don’t celebrate their own accomplishments at every turn. Take a minute to thank a real harm reduction hero.
