Prescribed Harm Awareness Day and Bold Play Spotlight Medication Risks

On Prescribed Harm Awareness Day, we’re highlighting Side Effects May Include…, a powerful new play by award-winning playwright Lisa Loomer, now showing at the Contemporary American Theater Festival at Shepherd University near the Washington DC metro area.

The production sheds light on akathisia and the often-overlooked risks of medication-induced suicide—issues central to MISSD’s mission. We were honored to serve as a resource for the play.
