Beyond Crisis: Lives Saved

Award-Winning Graduate Capstone Project

The opioid epidemic has claimed over 100,000 lives annually in the United States, a staggering 1000% increase since 1999. Beyond Crisis: Lives Saved is a scrollytelling resource designed to support families and friends of individuals struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD). The project aims to provide actionable, evidence-based solutions that reduce overdoses, save lives, and advocate for harm reduction over incarceration. The site brings clarity to a complex crisis, empowering users with resources and hope.
