Dr. Jacobson will also provide information on how to use unregulated substances more safely, where to find recovery resources, facts related to medications for opioid use disorder, passive fentanyl exposure, various naloxone formulations, and liability concerns.

She is the director of the community First Responder Program, which focuses on harm reduction, overdose education, and naloxone outreach, and serves as the hub of the Northeast Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Regional Center.
