About this Event

Developing a Better System of Care for Nonfatal Overdose

The high recurrence rate of nonfatal overdoses has underscored the urgent need for more effective response systems beyond emergency departments. This event will gather experts in public health, addiction medicine, and policy to examine innovative approaches to overdose care that prioritize sustained engagement and support for individuals at risk of repeat overdose. Panelists will explore various models, from stabilization centers to supervised consumption sites and outreach teams, sharing insights on these alternative approaches' key components and adoption challenges. Join us on March 17th from 10:00 am - 1:30 pm ET for a thought-provoking panel discussion, followed by a light lunch where we explore how we can advance alternative overdose response models across communities.
