An opioid overdose requires immediate medical attention. Call 911 immediately if you or someone you know exhibits any of the symptoms.
The African American community thrives on connection through family, church, advocacy, and other social bonds that provide vital support during tough times.
Historically, systemic inequities, social stigma, and unequal access to healthcare have contributed to higher rates of substance use disorders among Black and BIPOC individuals. This highlights the urgent need for support and resources.
Supporting our Black and BIPOC communities involves everyone. By spreading the word about substance use risks, promoting culturally competent care, and ensuring equitable resources, we can strengthen our entire community.
