In honour of International Overdose Awareness Day on Aug. 31, Réseau ACCESS Network has issued Sudburians a call to action
In honour of International Overdose Awareness Day, Réseau ACCESS Network has issued a call to action for Sudburians, as well as a call to come together on August 31 to remember those who have died or suffered permanent injury due to drug overdose.
From January 2022 to June 2022, Greater Sudbury Paramedic Services have responded to 400 suspected opioid-related incidents. Early statistics and anecdotal evidence for the 2021 calendar year show that the situation is becoming ever-more critical, exacerbated in many areas by the pandemic decreasing the tolerance of people who use drugs and disrupting both services and the drug supply chain.
Prior to the screening will be an opening ceremony, an overdose recognition and response training, and short discussion.
