Join the National Overdose Prevention Network for the next installment of Big Ideas in Overdose Prevention on Wednesday, February 9. In our first session we introduced three Big Ideas: Reach People Where They're At, Be Willing to Pivot, and Don't Reinvent the Wheel. Check out the videos for each “big idea” and full session recording in case you missed it.
This will be another interactive session covering two more big ideas: Center Health Equity and Build Strategic Partnerships. Register today to explore key questions, challenges, and solutions to better organize your local response to the overdose crisis.
