PHAC has updated their opioid awareness wallet card. Along with information on how to spot an opioid overdose and what to do if you suspect an opioid overdose, the new wallet cards now include information on the Good Samaritan Overdose Act — the legislation that protects people who seek emergency help during an overdose situation from charges related to simple drug possession. We hope that the additional information will encourage people to call for help during an overdose.
