If you or someone in your family has experienced an intentional overdose, we would like to partner with you on a paid project to inform medical toxicology research.

Time Commitment: Virtual 1-hour meetings (1-2 per month starting June 1, 2023- February 28, 2024)

We are hoping to improve the lives of those who have survived intentional overdoses by informing overdose research. You will have the opportunity to partner with a group of researchers, other patients with lived experiences, and other healthcare professionals (e.g., social workers, peer counselors, etc.) to help shape the future of overdose research. Your opinions are tremendously valuable to us!
