This session breaks down the connection between opioid overdose and brain injury in a way that makes sense for the day-to-day work of Community Health Workers. It covers what puts someone at risk for opioid or substance use disorders, how to spot common signs of brain injury, and how brain injuries can affect the care and support clients need.
