Tools Over Fear: Lessons Learned From Campuses Navigating the Overdose Crisis

In the year 2021, 107,521 Americans died from a drug overdose. In the last five years, the number of campuses offering overdose resources has grown steadily, but the explosion of the fentanyl crisis has compelled institutions to develop strategies for preventing further student deaths. Since 2018, SAFE Project has assisted campuses around the country to distribute thousands of doses of naloxone and drug testing kits. In this session, presenters will bust common myths about overdose, fentanyl, and share tangible resources and guides for faculty and administrators as they consider the crisis in their work.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the current landscape of drug overdoses and their own intersection with student support.
• Identify at least two barriers and solutions to implementing harm reduction initiatives.
• Evaluate applicable campus resources and solutions.
