First responders deal with overdoses on a regular basis, and they know that naloxone saves lives. It is safe, free and easy to use. Yet stigma remains a barrier to getting naloxone into the hands of Nova Scotians. These videos were produced with generous funding from the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore’s Women’s Giving Circle, which saw an opportunity to help make naloxone kits more widely available in our communities. We are grateful for the group’s leadership and support. | Nova
