This season, Countermeasures traces the arc of public health crises and bioterrorism events across centuries, from the Black Death to the 2001 Anthrax attacks. We dig into how societies responded in the moment, what those responses reveal in hindsight, and what we still need to learn. Each episode uncovers the science and the human decisions behind our fight against health threats, and asks what it will take to be ready for the next one. Brought to you by Emergent, a leading public health company that delivers protective and life-saving solutions to communities around the world.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-03T00:20:23.256015+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/countermeasures-6628039"},"episode":{"title":"Supporting patients and families in crisis","slug":"supporting-patients-and-families-in-crisis","published_at":"2023-11-08T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/countermeasures-6628039/supporting-patients-and-families-in-crisis","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/countermeasures-6628039","url":"https://www.emergentbiosolutions.com/opioid-crisis/","audio_url":"https://pdrl.fm/27ceda/audio-delivery.cohostpodcasting.com/audio/41ef96e0-9fb2-47cc-9d12-aed60570cfb6/episodes/ef1e40f6-27c5-4888-a7f8-2688fb1f7530/episode.mp3","summary":"For people struggling with opioid dependency, the healthcare system can often be overwhelming and difficult to access, but it doesn’t have to be this way. When first responders, medical practitioners, mental health professionals, and public health experts come together, the healthcare systems can be an avenue for compassionate, evidence-based support. In this episode of Countermeasures, we explore science-backed innovations that help lower barriers to accessing care, rebuild trust, and improve outcomes.
