OPIRG Brock works in partnership with Positive Living Niagara to provide a continuum of innovative and proactive approach to harm reduction, prevention and a person-centered focus on support. The session will be presented by a StreetWorks Outreach Worker from Positive Living Niagara at Brock University. It will be an informal presentation on Naloxone administration in the case of opioid overdose, information about various drugs and harm reduction. There will be opportunities to ask questions and request for a free Naloxone kit. As Opioid Overdose is a serious risk of recreational drug usage that impacts the general public (which includes university students), it is recommended that people from all backgrounds attend the information session to learn more. Free food and refreshments will be provided.
