The overdose crisis is complex and individual school and campus approaches vary widely. Some schools/campuses model overdose response for their communities, others stand firm in distancing themselves from risky student substance use. Our efficacy in addressing substance use and overdose is often frustrated by the rapidly changing landscape of risk and resources. In this session, presenters will share key updates and resources to help navigate the overdose crisis in 2025, and the role of opioids and polysubstance use within this context.
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.
