Naloxone is a lifesaving medicine that reverses opioid overdoses. Distributing naloxone directly to people who use drugs as well as to their friends and family is an evidenced-back strategy for reducing overdose deaths.  

Our new “How to Give Naloxone” videos break down the steps of how to administer naloxone with simple, easy-to-understand instructions. We created the videos to support community partners in their harm reduction work across the state and in Tribal communities. We hope the videos will be an excellent addition to community presentations and social media outreach.
