From harm reduction education and supplies to peer support, primary care, wound care, crisis assistance and connections to housing and community services, Mesa is here to help.

Overdose does not discriminate. It affects people of every age, background and community.

This year’s International Overdose Awareness Day theme, “25 Years On. Still Needed.”, is a reminder of how long communities around the world have been coming together to remember those we have lost and take action to save lives.

The truth is, we should not still need this day. But we do.

By speaking openly, reducing stigma, sharing life-saving information and treating people with care and respect, we can help prevent overdose and build a future where fewer lives are lost.

While this day is still needed, it does not have to be forever.

Think you could identify which pill contains fentanyl?

Put your knowledge to the test with Health Canada’s interactive “Can You Spot the Fentanyl?” activity.

It is a quick and eye-opening way to learn why appearances cannot tell us whether a substance is safe.

Would you know how to respond to an opioid overdose?

Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

It is safe, easy to administer and could help save a life.
In this video,
Paramedic Joe walks through how to use naloxone so you can feel more prepared to respond. Although it was recorded a few years ago, the information and potentially life-saving message remain just as important today.

Find out where to get a FREE confidential naloxone kit: www.ontario.ca/page/where-get-free-naloxone-kit
Always call 911 if you suspect an overdose, administer naloxone if available and remain with the person until emergency help arrives.
Knowing how to respond matters.
