When two leading forces in harm reduction unite, the impact of their work has the power to create waves of change that ripple far and wide. That’s certainly the case for End Overdose and Fentanyl Frontline, who have joined forces to offer crucial harm reduction resources to festival-goers in LA County.
The End Overdose booth will offer a variety of life-saving resources, from providing free naloxone to hosting informative trainings that arm visitors with the knowledge to recognize and respond to an overdose. Exclusive giveaways and festival swag will also be available.
These harm reduction efforts are essential in LA County, where in 2021 fentanyl accounted for 55% of drug overdose deaths, according to data from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Accidental fentanyl overdose deaths increased by approximately 17 times between 2016 and 2022, per LA County Substance Abuse Prevention & Control.
Both End Overdose and Fentanyl Frontline continue to offer critical overdose prevention and harm reduction education in Los Angeles and beyond, providing resources to hundreds of thousands of individuals.
In other End Overdose news, the nonprofit recently launched a groundbreaking educational tool to support training in overdose response. The organization was named one of EDM.com‘s best industry leaders in both 2022 and 2024.
