Project Opiate Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND)

Project Opiate Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) focuses on preventing deaths from opioid overdoses. It involves educating people about the dangers of opioid use and how to recognize an overdose. Participants learn how to respond effectively, including administering naloxone, a life-saving medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. The project distributes naloxone kits to individuals, families, and community organizations, empowering them to act in emergencies. The goal is to reduce overdose fatalities by equipping more people with knowledge and tools to save lives in critical situations.
