BPUSA (Bereaved Parents USA) decided to run a Virtual Gathering Conference August 6-8th this year. The link to registration ($25) and information in the Gathering Guide is on our website. https://www.bereavedparentsusa.org/annual-conference/annual-gathering-conference/. Diana Cuddeback, one of the authors of Heartbroken-Grief and Hope Inside the Opioid Crisis will speak about the stigma of an overdose death and give many coping strategies in her workshop Friday at noon.
I hope you will consider joining us in an Overdose Awareness Caravan on Overdose Awareness Day 8/31 with each of us decorating our cars in memory of those we have lost. Details are being finalized but we are looking at meeting at 6 pm on 8/31. Please put it on your calendar, more details to follow. Also be on the lookout for our Overdose Awareness billboard at I64/Jefferson Avenue from 8/24-9/6.
