You can make a difference in your community by educating yourself with NARCAN training!

The opioid epidemic is a real crisis. According to the CDC, overdose deaths from all drugs in the U.S. climbed a staggering 29.4% leading up to December 2020, killing more than 93,000 people. About 75% of those deaths were from opioid overdoses. 

The good news is, there are ways that the community can help prevent this staggering number. Research shows that high rates of naloxone distribution among everyday people and emergency workers could reduce opioid overdose deaths by 21%.
