IHHRC is excited to witness @GovPritzker announce the State Overdose Action Plan this morning. Our members are eager to contribute to the implementation of Harm Reduction principles and programs that will help our communities receive the dignity and care they deserve

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

There are many ways people end up struggling with the disease that is addiction. Self-medicating, trauma, simultaneous mental health challenges, a pain prescription gone wrong… but no matter the cause, their life is worth saving. That's where our Overdose Action Plan comes in.

[Illinois Harm Reduction & Recovery Coalition @ilharmreduction]
