NaloxHome

Team members:  Chloe Goodison (間眅埶AV)

In 2020, British Columbia struggled to navigate a global pandemic. Although, since long before COVID-19 entered the province, BC has been fighting an opioid crisis. In 2020 alone there were over 1,500 overdose deaths in BC. Though CPR and the Heimlich maneuver are taught in secondary school PE classes, naloxone and overdose awareness are neglected. Its time to change that.

There are currently no youth-run anti-overdose/naloxone administration campaigns in Port Moody, Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam. There is an important place for NaloxHome in the Tri-Cities during BCs overdose crisis.

Naloxone kits save lives. The overdose crisis hits close to home, for everyone in BC. Combining naloxone and the Tri-Cities, my home, Ive created NaloxHome. NaloxHome will provide much-needed overdose education and naloxone training to youth in the Tri-Cities area. NaloxHome will empower a team of youth to share our passion for overdose prevention with our fellow young adults.
