The HSE Talking Health & Wellbeing Podcast is back to its weekly schedule and this week, host Fergal Fox is joined by Jenny Smyth from the HSE National Social Inclusion Office and Rob from the Ana Liffey Drugs Project to mark International Overdose Awareness Day. Together, they discuss overdose risks in Ireland, the vital role of naloxone, and the importance of peer-led intervention and community support. The episode offers practical guidance on recognising and responding to overdoses and highlights the need for open conversations, training, and compassion to reduce stigma and save lives.
