Webinar Description: According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 111,000 people died from a drug overdose in the 12-month period ending last September. Unhoused individuals are especially at risk of overdose deaths. Recent studies show that of people experiencing homelessness, drug-overdose accounted for 1 in 4 deaths. As drug-related overdose deaths continue to rise, the need for innovative, early intervention and harm-reducing services are especially relevant. Programs across the country have begun to develop strategies to reduce harm in these at-risk populations. Come join us as we profile one such program that is focused on providing life-saving medications and interventions to unhoused populations.
Educational Objectives:
- Examine the current state of substance use in unhoused populations.
- Describe an innovative program providing harm-reduction services to unhoused populations.
- Identify solutions and challenges to sustainability of early-intervention programs for unhoused populations.
