Marie Agioritis, Overdose Awareness Day, 2021.The tragic and sudden loss in 2015 of Marie’s 19-year-old son Kelly to a fentanyl poisoning, propelled her into taking action in the hopes of preventing more families from facing the unthinkable. Since his passing, she has told Kelly’s story nationally, influenced decision makers in Ottawa and is the Saskatchewan lead of Moms Stop the Harm (MSTH).Marie and Moms Stop the Harm are strongly advocating for Decriminalization, Safe Supply and Safe Consumption/Overdose Prevention sites.“You can say “don’t use drugs” but come on, that’s been the mantra for how many years now and our overdose numbers keep climbing”. Recreational drug use is a reality but it has become far more dangerous.There is A LOT of confusion surrounding those terms – join us as we delve deeper and gain a better understanding of how these approaches can help with the opioid crises, as well as, how to better talk to our children about these issues.Support the showSEIU-WestWellness NewsParenting in the Storm Check out Parenting in the Storm HEREAre you getting something from our content?
