Increasing Naloxone Access in Rural Communities
The Center for Rural Engagement partnered with #ShipHappens Inc., an Indiana-based nonprofit that increases naloxone (Narcan) availability, using Facebook to familiarize community members with opioid overdose recognition and response utilizing naloxone. Medication is then shipped free of charge to participants. The group also offers in-person trainings and volunteer events.
