The social issue I chose is drug overdose. I pick drug overdose because it is the leading cause of injury deaths in the Unites States. In 2017, it killed more than 70,000 people in the U.S. and this number will only keep getting larger every year. I feel to solve this problem the communities needs begin to learn about safe havens and how some countries in Europe are using this method to prevent more drug overdose deaths. Basically, safe havens are facilities where drug addicts or other people can go to inject their drug safely and in case of an overdose there is trained staff ready to help with the situation. I chose this topic because I think to solve this problem is fairly easy, but people just need to get together and begin a campaign to let the government know that drug overdose can be stop using this method.
