Today we once again acknowledge International Overdose Awareness Day, which is a global event held on 31 August each year. It aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of a drug-related death.
It also acknowledges the grief felt by families and friends remembering those who have died or had a permanent injury as a result of drug overdose.
Today we have Misty Collins and Natalie Wright who are an AOD clinicians with the Stepping Up consortium, as well as Glen Fisher, a survivor of much... and author of "Predators Paradise".
