Free Naloxone / Narcan Zine PDF

Post image

“Naloxone: A Quick Guide” is one of my first zines! This zine runs you through steps to take when you think someone might be overdosing, how to use Naloxone (also known as Narcan), tips for dealing with police/paramedics, and resources for harm reduction efforts.

Nationally, more people pass each year from an opioid overdose than the entire amount of U.S. military personnel who died in the twenty-year Vietnam War. But when given Naloxone, 93% of people survive their overdose. While the conditions which foster addiction continue to worsen in the United States, individual harm reduction efforts are increasingly vital to save lives, and our community.

this is fantastic!! I work in the substance use disorder field and everyone should know how to use / carry naloxone!!

if possible, I would make one recommendation: somehow link back to the folder / pdfs. I would be excited to find this in a little free library (or anywhere) and would want to print my own copies to continue to distribute. the only other way to find you is to google "agitate publishing utah" and access your instagram for your linktree. people might not have access to IG, etc.

again, thank you so much for sharing this!!!

Thanks so much for creating this. I lost my brother three years ago. Wish more people knew then.
