Harm Reduction & Overdose Prevention

Delivered strictly in line with the law and public-health guidance in each place we work, and always in coordination with local emergency services.

The need

Overdose is survivable when someone nearby knows what to do and help arrives fast.

What we do

  • Naloxone and overdose prevention education where legally available
  • Safe-use education
  • Prevention supplies where appropriate
  • Hygiene supplies
  • Volunteer emergency-response training
  • Coordination with local emergency services
  • Rapid escalation

How it works

    Confirm what is legally available and appropriate in the jurisdiction.

  2. 02

    Deliver education in partnership with local health and emergency services.

  3. 03

    Train volunteers on recognition, response, and rapid escalation.

  4. 04

    Provide prevention and hygiene supplies where appropriate.

Community participation

Local emergency services, health workers, and community volunteers shape what is offered and how.

Why it matters

Prevention and rapid response save lives without judgment.
