Overdose prevention services. |
As a minority-owned, woman-owned nonprofit, our goal is to provide in-home and on-the-spot access to NARCAN® kits in every neighborhood across our region.

What is NARCAN (naloxone)?
NARCAN ALLOWS SOMEONE TO BREATHE. That’s it. Naloxone, better known by the brand name NARCAN, is a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and prevent death. This potentially lifesaving medication is free, available all over your neighborhood, and easy to use. The only effect it has on the body is the enabling of the lungs to breathe – which is vital in an overdose situation.
