Finding images that aren't stigmatizing when it comes to overdose prevention centers can be a challenge. that's why we are proud to unveil our new resource: a photo and video library that can be used for free (with a tiny attribution). download at opcinfo.org/photolib.
The opcinfo logo can be seen in the top left corner. The background is of a booth in an overdose prevention room. The text says photo and video library. There are two drawn figures in the picture; one of a camera man and one of a man walking with a camera on his neck.
