Why should I learn about naloxone?

Also known as Narcan, naloxone is a safe and highly effective medication that temporarily reverses the effects of opioid overdose. With appropriate training, you will be armed with the ability to recognize and respond to opioid overdoses, and potentially save lives in your community.

What is NaloxHome?

NaloxHome was born in 2021 by first-year SFU student, Chloe Goodison. After graduating secondary school without learning about BC’s overdose crisis, Chloe saw a hole: despite being in it’s 5th consecutive year as a declared Public Health Crisis, students aren’t learning the signs of an overdose, where to get naloxone, BC’s poisoned drug supply, harm reduction, and how to keep each other safe. In fact, the absence of these topics in the curriculum contribute to the deadly stigma around substance use and those who use substances. NaloxHome is led by the belief that knowledge is power, and by learning about issues around us, we are equipped to contribute to their end.
