Sipping Tea with Grace King & Sandie Burgess

In this episode, we talk about preventing opioid overdose. What does overdose look like? What can we do when we suspect someone is epxeriencing overdose? Will we get in trouble if we help? These are some of the questions we explore with Grace King and Sandie Burgess. We'll break down the facts and myths about using Narcan, a life-saving medication that reverses the impact of overdose. Our guests also help us better understand why the Black community continues to experience increasing rates of opioid overdose despite the availability of known treatment options.
