Narcan Saves Lives

 

We can bring Narcan to your business and resupply as needed!

We will bring Narcan to your business. If you would like to have Narcan at your business please contact CSO Board at csoboard@communityspeaksout.org or you can call Liz Duarte at (860) 908-5817.

 

Saving Lives is not controversial

Community Speaks Out is launching a “Saving Lives is Not Controversial” Campaign. We are asking our local businesses to play a part in helping save lives. The way you can do this is by agreeing to have Narcan available at your location. Community Speaks Out is fully funding this project and will supply all necessary Narcan, materials and training free of cost to you.   

Our state has recognized that harm reduction is the first way that we can all do our part to help those struggling with substance use disorder. Overdoses are happening more and more in our local businesses, and we should be prepared to have life saving measures on site. Under the Good Samaritan Law in the State of CT, you are protected by law from any legal action if you administer or hand out Narcan. Please feel free to visit the DMHAS website for more information on Narcan and The Good Samaritan law.  

We hope you are willing to be part of this campaign. Overdose deaths are continuing to climb and are increasing in our businesses. Having Narcan onsite can make the difference between life or death. Please contact Liz at eduarte@communityspeaksout.org or 860-908-5817 to get started.

 

Thank you to Southeastern Regional Action Council for the grant to CSO to help with this project.
