August Overdose Awareness Activities
This month we participated in tons of overdose and mental health outreach! We had a great time at the Norwalk Community Health Center, Norwalk Night Out and the YMCA giving out free Narcan and lock bags!
We hosted three college drop-in days where we trained college kids going off to school in overdose Identification, prevention. They were able to build their own lock bags with Narcan, fentanyl test strips, and mental health resources to keep them safe throughout the new school year.
To round out the month we invite you to attend the 10th Annual Community Addiction Awareness Vigil September 1st in New Canaan!
