INTRODUCING:
THE POST-OVERDOSE OUTREACH PROCESS

If you already know Jason Patton from the Fire Department Chronicles, you know he tells it like it is. In this short video, he’ll explain the unique ability we have as first responders to intervene post-overdose, and why hope is never out of reach.

GET STARTED
First responders have unique assets that make them well-suited for post-overdose outreach including 911 data, a community service mindset, and the public's trust and approval. Is your fire and EMS agency trusted by people who use drugs in your community? Work with your local health department, harm reduction organizations, and other community organizations to determine how your agency can help.
