WAPC Overdose Awareness Series

WAPC Overdose Awareness Series

By: Alexandra de Leon Date: August 12th, 2024

The Washington Poison Center (WAPC) will be hosting an Overdose Awareness Series every Wednesday this August. Through presentations from WAPC’s own staff and from external experts, the series explores:

  • Unintentional and intentional factors that can lead to overdose
  • How to respond to different overdose situations
  • How to prevent and reduce harm from overdose
  • How to access resources and treatment in the state of Washington.

The goal is to open dialogue, de-stigmatize, and ensure everyone is aware of the help available in our communities. The series will be free and held online only.

This year, the series will take place every Wednesday in August: August 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th. Please register for every day you plan to attend. All times are in PST. Reach out to Meghan King (mking@wapc.org) with any questions.
