TEMPO Purpose
It’s Simple…losing even one musician to overdose is too many. Opioid abuse is real. Someone you know right now is abusing opioids and you probably don’t even know it. TEMPO is a program where our mission is to create a network where we can train musicians and anyone tethered to the music industry to use naloxone so they will be empowered to save lives in the event they discover someone in the midst of an overdose. In addition, we provide resources for opioid abuse counseling, as well as counseling for those who are trying to cope with the loss of a loved one or band mate to overdose.
TEMPO Mission
