from Civic · host Sylvie Sturm, Liana Wilcox

*Audio fixed - Previously uploaded episode was the wrong audio and has been fixed*Fentanyl-related deaths among teens more than tripled across the U.S. from 2019 to 2021. And the CDC reports that two thirds of teens who died had someone nearby who didn’t provide an overdose response. Now San Francisco high school students are signing up for training sessions on how to recognize drug abuse and reverse overdoses. And it’s not just teens who want to help. City residents are carrying overdose reversal nasal spray in case they come across someone in need of rescuing. But reversing an overdose isn’t quite as simple as it might sound. In this sixth and final episode of our series on San Francisco and the overdose crisis, we hear about an organization dedicated to training people on how to reverse overdoses, and we drop in on a session to find out how it’s done.

Upholding Matters David Paul What holds you up and what do you uphold? With the slipping of decency and decorum in our public and private spheres of life, and with once rock-solid faith in civic and social norms now in taters, many people are left feeling greatly concerned and uneasy about the future.
