"I used naloxone on my son last year. Without the training I got from Naloxone Advocates Plymouth, I wouldn't have known what to do. He's alive today because of this organisation. I can't put into words what that means to our family."
"The training was completely non-judgemental. As someone with lived experience of addiction, I've faced a lot of stigma from services. NAP treated me with dignity and respect from the moment I walked in. I'm now a peer tr…"
"I work in a homeless shelter and we've now had three overdose reversals using naloxone from NAP's training. Every single member of our staff has been trained. It should be mandatory everywhere."
"My friend collapsed at a festival. I'd done the P2P training just two weeks before. I gave him naloxone and he came round before the ambulance arrived. The paramedics said I saved his life."
"As a GP, I refer patients to NAP regularly. The quality of their training is outstanding — practical, compassionate, and genuinely life-saving. They fill a gap that the NHS simply can't."
"I became a volunteer peer trainer after NAP helped me through a really dark time. Now I get to give back and help others in my community. It's given me purpose and confidence I never thought I'd have."
"We hosted a training session at our community centre and 24 people attended. The trainer was brilliant — warm, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe. We're booking another session already."
"I was nervous about attending but everyone was so welcoming. I left feeling confident and equipped. The naloxone kit I received has already been used once — and it worked. Thank you NAP."
"I was nervous to share my story but the team at NAP made me feel completely safe. Knowing my experience might help someone else made it so worthwhile. This organisation is doing incredible work."
"My brother has struggled with addiction for years. NAP gave our whole family the training and the kit. Last Christmas we used it. He's still here. I will never stop being grateful."
