Naloxone
Administration Training
Naloxone (Narcan) is a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose within minutes. Our naloxone administration training equips volunteers and community members with the knowledge and confidence to recognize the signs of overdose and take action when it matters most. In this training, participants learn how to identify an overdose, properly administer naloxone, and provide support until medical help arrives. We offer these trainings because we believe everyone should have the tools to save a life—whether at a music event, in their neighborhood, or at home. By spreading this knowledge, we help build a stronger, safer community where people look out for one another and no one has to face an emergency alone.
Substance Identification
Test Kit
Training
Substance identification test kits are an important harm reduction tool that help people make safer, more informed choices about what they are taking. Our training teaches participants how to properly use reagent test kits to identify the presence of common adulterants, contaminants, or unexpected substances. Through hands-on guidance, we cover how to read results, understand limitations, and talk about safer use practices. We offer these trainings because access to knowledge is one of the most powerful forms of harm reduction—when people know what’s in their substances, they can make choices that reduce risk and protect their health. By spreading these skills, we empower our community to look out for themselves and for one another.
Peer to Peer
Support Training
Peer-to-peer support is at the heart of the harm reduction we do. It’s about meeting people where they are with compassion, respect, and care. Our training prepares community members to offer grounded, nonjudgmental support to others who may be overwhelmed, struggling with substances, or simply needing someone to listen. Participants learn active listening skills, de-escalation techniques, and how to create safe, welcoming spaces without stigma or shame. We offer these trainings because we believe care doesn’t have to come from professionals alone; it can come from each of us. By equipping peers with these skills, we strengthen our community’s ability to show up for one another in meaningful, life-affirming ways.
