"This place saved my life," said Mark, a participant in our programs. "I get a chance to relax & unwind, & not put myself in trouble." Our OPCs have intervened in 1,000+ overdoses. “No one has to die again – ever," says @samrivera1111. On @CityAndStateNY. https://t.co/YGmDIWOsy0

Free Narcan distribution and training.
Narcan training saves lives. Grateful to our @WCMPsychiatry team for conducting a training last week at the @whitneymuseum. We have distributed over 5,000 kits and saved 25 lives working with religious organizations, restaurants, and street outreach. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
.@WeillCornell, @JonathanAveryMD and @Zoe_Story provided naloxone rescue kits and training to @whitneymuseum. We are proud to continue to make strides toward diminishing substance use and stigma.

“Why, I wanted to know, should something that could save a life remain out of reach?” writes @espiers about the opioid reversal drug Narcan. https://t.co/WautxlCYHc
“Nobody recovered from addiction dead. My feeling is if we can keep people alive long enough, we know eventually the majority get recovery.”
I was addicted to fentanyl. Here's what we should be doing about it. https://t.co/QAeG8BQjDd via @SFGate

If our goal is to stop the dying, we know what to do.

As folks celebrate 4/20 today, we must remember there are Americans that are suffering from non-violent marijuana charges on their records, who’ve done nothing more than several elected officials, including Presidents, admitted to doing. We must fight for expungement of records.

Congratulations @samrivera1111.

Real life heroes don't wear capes these days,
they carry Narcan.
Two friends, just this week, used the Narcan we provided & revived 2 unconscious men, in the subway. Saved their lives.
They knew what to do when it was needed most.
Carry Narcan and be a lifesaving hero.
