Kanada. BC Overdose – Action Exchange II
This report from the second annual Overdose Action Exchange captures the ideas and actions recommended by a range of participants as being necessary to reduce the unprecedented rise in overdose deaths seen over the past two years. The report contains recommendations that both build on past successes and advance novel approaches.
Perhaps the most important message coming out of the meeting was that this is more than just a drug problem. The impact of the overdose crisis to families, friends, and communities has been massive and the scars will be with us for many years to come. The urgency for real change expressed so eloquently by the people who are experiencing the losses firsthand needs to be heard and acted upon.(Provincial Health Services and BC Centre for Disease Control, August 2017)
