Overdose Awareness Day 2024
Manage episode 436837234 series 3015777
International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) – held on August 31 every year – is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind.
In light of the day we speak with Senior Alcohol and Other Drug Clinician Bianca from Thorne Harbour SA about how to respond to an overdose, why substance use is so stigmatised, and how to get support if you or someone you know is struggling with substance use.
