Get ready for International Overdose Awareness Day by equipping yourself with the knowledge on how to respond in the event of an overdose. This presentation will show you the signs to recognize, how to respond with the overdose reversal drug naloxone, and some of the brain science behind why people develop a substance use disorder.
