A Conversation about International Overdose Awareness Day 2021

Susan Coale, Director of the Chesapeake Life Center, talks about International Overdose Awareness Day, celebrated annually on August 31, and how this year's gatherings for the event have been impacted by COVID-19. She discusses how it also has made grieving the loss of a loved one due to substance misuse more difficult.
