#OpioidCrisis: Did you know that every day, 5 Californians lose their lives to opioid overdoses? This crisis is right here in our community, and it's often underreported. But we're not standing idly by.
New Partnership Alert: Help Is Hope Foundation is thrilled to announce our partnership with the California Department of Health Care Services! Through the Naloxone Distribution Project (NDP), we're making a difference with FREE access to Narcan/Naloxone, a $44.97 value, at NO cost to you!
Harm Reduction & Education: It's time to end the stigma. Opioid addiction affects everyone. By adopting a harm reduction approach, we offer compassion and practical solutions to those in need. Our slogan says it all: "Hope Is Not A Luxury, It Is A Lifeline." With this project, we're giving hope a fighting chance by providing lifesaving Narcan to those who need it most.
What is Naloxone? Naloxone is a life-saving medication that acts as an opioid antagonist. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, reversing the effects of opioid overdose, including life-threatening respiratory depression. This powerful intervention can rapidly restore normal breathing in a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to overdosing on opioids like fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone, codeine, hydrocodone, and morphine (CDPH) (CDPH) (DHCS).
Get Trained & Get Equipped: Our FREE Basic Narcan/Naloxone training will prepare you to respond to an overdose emergency confidently. Participants will receive two single-dose Narcan Nasal Spray devices, each containing 4 mg of Naloxone, designed for emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdoses. This nasal spray is easy to use and can be administered by anyone, providing an essential tool in combating the opioid crisis (CDPH) (CalRx).
Join the Movement: Ready to be a hero? Participate in our training sessions and become a part of the solution. Together, we can make our community safer and stronger. Let’s turn hope into action and save lives one dose at a time.
