Community Substance Use Response (CSUR) invites you to join us on Wednesday, May 22nd at 6:00 pm for an insightful night of education and discussion on Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention. The event is free and will be held at the Brooks Memorial Library on Main Street in Brattleboro.

This training, presented by Vermont Cares, will delve into Harm Reduction philosophy & strategies, breaking down stigma and discrimination, understanding overdose prevention, recognizing signs of an overdose, and how to respond.

Participants will gain a compassionate, informed, and practical approach to harm reduction. They will be equipped to positively impact their communities and offer non-judgmental support to those in need. Participants will also have the option to take a naloxone kit home, empowering them to potentially save lives in their community.

Snacks are also provided. For more information: 802CSURVT@gmail.com or call (802) 275-7232.

CSUR is a collaborative effort that includes Voices of Hope, Turning Point of Windham County, the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont, Building a Positive Community, West River Valley Thrives, Grace Cottage Hospital, Meetinghouse Solutions, and others in the community working together throughout the continuum of care to ensure that substance use prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services reach our rural communities in Windham County.
