Harm Reduction, Narcan, and How to Create an Overdose Policy for Your Organization
As many of you know, Berkeley has experienced a number of lethal overdoses recently and to answer this threat posed to our community members we invite you attend this free workshop. It will presented by Punks With Lunch Outreach Coordinator and long time Harm Reduction volunteer Katie O’Bryant. Based on her years of experience, she will be discussing the use of Fentynal test strips, how and when to use Narcan, and the best practices for creating an overdose policy for your organization.
We will be holding this workshop in a socially distance responsible manner, outside in the back yard of the Grassroots house. However, if the weather doesn’t cooperate with us we may have to move inside. Therefore, we ask all participants to please bring face masks.
This workshop is for any activists, social workers, and residents of Curbside Communities that would benefit from this knowledge. So please send this flyer to any orgs or individuals you wish to.
