Yesterday Simi spoke with Nicola DeSousa-Heide about her son, Christian, and how she struggled to get him help with his serve opioid addiction. While discussing the struggle to get him help, Nicola talked about the response her son’s school had to his addiction.  Our next guest was listening to that interview and sent us an email with her reaction. Susan Carr is a Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows school trustee and she would like to see overdose prevention strategies become mandatory in B.C. schools. Why would that work to help students struggling with addition?

Guest: Susan Carr, Vice Chair of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows board of education
