On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the people we have lost, recognize the grief carried by families and communities, and honour those working every day to reduce harm and save lives.
The Nova Scotia Grief Alliance invites you to join us for a special four-part International Overdose Awareness Day Mini Series exploring grief, harm reduction, community response and what it means to remain human while working in systems where loss is a constant companion.
💚 LIVE WEBINAR — AUGUST 31
⏰ 6:00 PM AST | 2:00 PM PST
💻 Virtual via Zoom
Dr. Marcus Greatheart, MD, MSW
Remaining Human While Working in Systems where Grief Is a Constant Companion
The live 60-minute webinar will be followed by three pre-recorded 30-minute presentations featuring Nova Scotia harm reduction leaders:
Davy Rose (They/Them)
Harm Reduction in Nova Scotia Histories, Provincial Implementation and Grief in Healthcare Settings
Kimm Kent (She/They)
Grief in the Margins
Ashley Legere
Love Us Loud
Together, these four perspectives create space for conversations about grief that is too often unseen — the grief experienced by people who use drugs, families, frontline workers, harm reduction advocates and communities responding to ongoing loss.
Honouring lives. Supporting communities. Building a future with compassion and care.
