Real People. Real Impact.
Behind every naloxone kit is a person with a story. Here are some of the voices from our community.
Peer Trainer, Devonport
"I used to feel like I had nothing to offer. Now I train others every week. This programme gave me back my confidence and my community."
Community Member, Stonehouse
"Three weeks after my training, I used my kit on my neighbour. The paramedics said I saved his life. I still can't believe it."
Outreach Volunteer, City Centre
"People are surprised when I hand them a kit and say there's no cost. That moment of disbelief — then relief — never gets old."
Family Member, Plympton
"My son uses drugs. I used to live in fear. Now I carry naloxone and I know what to do. That knowledge is everything."
