There have been more than 700,000 overdose-related deaths in the United States in the last decade. With these record-breaking and heartbreaking rates, the New Jersey Resource Project, a local nonprofit organization, is determined to intervene in one of the biggest crises plaguing not only South Jersey, but the entire country.

The NJRP is hosting a discussion, “Ending Overdose in N.J.: Problems & Solutions,” on Wednesday, July 31, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
