We are proud to share the launch of a new tool to help address the ongoing overdose crisis by expanding access to life‑saving tools. Overdose is preventable, yet many people face barriers to obtaining naloxone. This harm‑reduction resource meets people where they are—removing cost, stigma, and judgment.
The vending machine provides free overdose rescue kits, each containing naloxone (NARCAN®), a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and restore breathing within minutes. Designed for accessibility and respect, the machine features clear instructions, bilingual content, and welcoming messaging that normalizes carrying NARCAN® as a responsible, life-saving action.
This initiative reflects our commitment to harm reduction and community wellbeing. By making naloxone easier to access, we are helping save lives and create pathways to care when people are ready. Learn more about harm reduction, overdose prevention, and available resources through our training programs and community education initiatives.
Our upcoming instructor-led session, “Best Practices for Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder,” directly supports our mission to expand community access to overdose rescue kits and promote harm reduction. This evidence-based training equips participants with a comprehensive understanding of opioid use disorder, including opioid classification, risk indicators, and effective prevention and treatment strategies. By learning about Medication Assisted Treatment and therapeutic interventions, you’ll be better prepared to support individuals at risk, reinforce the importance of carrying naloxone (NARCAN®), and foster a compassionate, informed approach to overdose prevention.
