Naloxone Distribution & Training
Harm reduction is critical to keeping people who use drugs alive. It intends to meet people “where they are” and may serve as a pathway to individuals getting further services. NOSC is committed to increase the availability of Naloxone in our community and to raise awareness around signs of overdose, how to administer naloxone, and break the stigma.
What we do:
-
Increase community access to Narcan by applying to DHCS's Naloxone Distribution Project and setting up monthly community distributions (please see events tab for upcoming distribution locations)
-
Establishing a train-the-trainer model to increase the availability of Narcan trainings to those want it
-
Providing staff Narcan trainings to those that work in education, prevention, non-profits, with the unhoused community, medical backgrounds, and those that work directly with youth
If you are an organization that would like to receive Narcan training, please reach out to napaopiodsafety@gmail.com.
