Our annual Naloxone Kit-Making Event invites the NC Harm Reduction Coalition and UNC Public Health to ESOP where we spend an afternoon/evening learning about the importance of naloxone, the stigma behind seeking help for opioid misuse, and working together to make naloxone kits. In 2019, we made over 1800 kits containing naloxone syringes and quick instructions for use during overdose emergencies to be distributed statewide.
