NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports: Implementing Overdose Prevention and Harm Reduction Strategies
Rates of overdose continue to rise, with annual overdose deaths surpassing 100,000 in 2021. The Community Overdose Prevention Education Project, or Project COPE, is a SAMHSA-funded grant initiative that seeks to reduce rates of overdose death in New York by connecting to vulnerable, underserved populations such as pregnant and parenting persons. Join members of the Project COPE team in exploring the science of substance use and substance use disorders, the basics of overdose prevention and naloxone use, and concrete ways professionals outside of the substance use disorder treatment system can help prevent overdoses among the individuals and families they serve. Tangible skills and interventions will be provided to increase overdose prevention and harm reduction knowledge for all who attend.
