Club - Naloxone Outreach and Education Initiative
The Naloxone Outreach and Education Initiative is an organization dedicated to educating Northeastern students, and surrounding community members on the opioid public health crisis, opioid emergencies, and reversing an opioid overdose using naloxone in order to save a life. We also aim to increase awareness of the opioid crisis, and oppose the stigma surrounding addiction, opioid use, and seeking treatment. We offer free training sessions, naloxone, fentanyl test strips, along with other resources. The hope of this program is to ultimately increase preparedness for these emergencies, as they are occurring all around us, while also changing the way our community thinks about drug use, addiction, and treatment.
