The series features subject matter experts on addiction, enforcement, and recovery. It also follows three families impacted by the crisis, two that lost loved ones to an overdose and a father dealing with his son’s addiction. The three part series was provided at no cost to schools, Indigenous communities and police agencies across B.C. Outside of B.C., the cost for the series and facilitators guide is $25.00 with proceeds going to Odd Squad Productions. Odd Squad Productions also provides this series free of charge to any individual or agency without the budget or financial means to pay.
