Rural Webinar Series Session 2: Next-of-Kin Interviews and Grief Support
Publication Date: 6/17/2025
A next-of-kin (NOK) interview provides an in-depth look at how someone lived, their social supports, and the circumstances that led to an overdose death. NOK interviews are tools OFRs can use to expand their understanding of the life experiences of a decedent and identify nontraditional touchpoints or systems that may not be represented by OFR team members. Learn how rural OFRs utilize and implement their NOK process in their respective jurisdictions.
