What is the Opioid Crisis?

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Mar 19, 2018

During a 20 minute conversation (with a presentation for you to keep), I'll share the causes - historic and ongoing - behind the ongoing opioid epidemic. It's in the papers every day but what is it, really, where did it come from, how can we stop it, and what is being done to stop it?

And most importantly, I'll share what you can do to help end the most fatal epidemic to hit this continent.

I'll give a quick overview but I also want to listen to you as I imagine there's a reason why you're looking to learn more and that's usually the most important part of these conversations: why are You here.

If you would like more resources to explore, I have lists of those to share. And I'd love to hear any feedback that you'd like to offer on both my thinking around the issue and the way that I've shared it with you.

Training & Qualifications


I've spent the last 15 months deeply engaged in harm reduction in Vancouver, having hundreds of conversations and reading anything I can get my hands on in order to understand the issue and explore potential solutions.

Availability & Preferences


I'm on Pacific time, afternoons are best and later in the week is ideal.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Gordon Casey

I'm based in Vancouver with my family - a 7 year old daughter and a wee baby boy. We building a platform coop that will create a way to send urgent, hyper-local requests for help - whether you need so...meone to carry your groceries, have a conversation or give you CPR, we believe that the help you need is already here and that technology can help us make real-world connections. I worked as a lawyer and entrepreneur until the end of 2015, primarily in financial services (mostly setting up offshore hedge funds and other structures). The world is an abundant place: it's filled with people trying to do the right thing. Most of us have the best intentions - even those whose actions I can barely understand - and the more methods there are for us to demonstrate our underlying faith in humanity, the more likely I think we are to end up "okay" in the long run. I'm a professional amateur - always trying to learn some new thing that strikes me as essential. I've managed to get basic competence at a bunch of things and there are so many that I still want to try: drums, flying, sky-diving, Mandarin, Arabic, coding, free-running...show more
