ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join the National Overdose Prevention Network, for a powerful conversation to hear how street medicine outreach teams are working together to prevent overdose and save lives. This webinar will explore the vital role of street medicine and community-based harm reduction in overdose prevention. Participants will learn strategies taking place across California that are grounded in trust, peer engagement, and direct outreach to people who use drugs. Speakers will showcase community-driven care models and how they build connections beyond traditional settings, including mobile outreach vans that reach people living in encampments, overdose response teams that connect people to treatment, and naloxone distribution during the annual point-in-time survey of people experiencing homelessness. Spread the word and register today!
