Drug poisoning and overdose deaths are often viewed from a stigmatizing lens. Feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation are common for those who are grieving a death by substance. This education session focuses on learning more about the impact of deaths by overdose and drug poisoning from a personal and community perspective. Supportive first-person language is used and ideas for support are offered.

Participants are welcome to share their experiences at the end of session, but participation is not mandatory.
