The SAFE Project (Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic) works to combat the addiction crisis by providing solutions and support across communities, campuses, workplaces, and the military. Their focus includes prevention, education, harm reduction, and recovery efforts to address substance use and the rising number of overdose deaths. They also offer resources such as treatment locators, recovery tools, and harm reduction strategies like Naloxone training.

Higher education’s relationship with the opioid overdose crisis is complex and individual campus approaches can vary widely. Some campuses model overdose response for their communities, other campuses stand firm in distancing themselves from risky student substance use. Either way, a clear problem emerges: the landscape of risk and resources is evolving at an increasing pace. In this session, presenters from SAFE (Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic) Campuses at SAFE Project will share key updates and resources to help campuses navigate the overdose crisis. We will provide foundational information as well as update professionals seeking to stay on top of- and make sense of- recent changes and progress to things like naloxone, fentanyl, drug checking, and best practices in campus harm reduction.
They also have programming specific for K-12 audiences here.
