On behalf of the District 9 Office, we are co-hosting an important panel discussion on Safe Consumption Sites and cordially invite you to attend in person or via Facebook Live.
Safe Consumption Sites are a critical part of the continuum of care necessary to move people into treatment and long-term recovery. We know many of our constituents have questions and we want to help shed light on what these sites are (and are not), what the research and experts say about them, and how they are essential to prevent overdose deaths, link people to drug treatment and recovery resources, and improve street conditions. We hope you can join us!
