Community Resource
GetNaloxoneNow.org was designed to provide a “home” for the Bystander and First Responder Training Modules, developed to address the opioid-associated overdose epidemic nationally.
The content of the training modules and the content found on the website were drawn from years of scholarship and advocacy on the part of hundreds of harm reductionists and their allies throughout the country (and the world) who are working to address the epidemic by replacing stigma with compassion, and laws, policies and programs that do not work to reduce overdose deaths with ones that do.
