Today is International Overdose Awareness Day so here are three things you may not know about Naloxone kits!

1️⃣ In Canada, anyone can get and can use a take-home naloxone kit. You don't need to be a doctor, nurse, or emergency responder. Instructions on how to use the kit are available on the Health Canada website.

2️⃣ When requesting a take-home naloxone kit online, or picking one up locally, you don't need to provide your personal details. When picking up a kit in person you will be offered a brief training session on how to use it. Although this training is recommended, it is completely optional.

3️⃣ Manitoba has a webpage with a huge list of places where you can pick up or order a take-home naloxone kit for free. It's called the Naloxone Finder – Take Home Program.

Tomorrow, Aug. 31, is International Overdose Awareness Day, so we’re resharing our story on how Manitoba's Rapid Access to Addictions Medicine (RAAM) clinics are making it easier to connect with addictions medicine care thanks to the Digital Front Door service.

Getting help for substance use can be a complicated and confusing process, but that process has become easier and faster thanks to RAAM Digital Front Door, an innovative virtual service led by nurses.

Jeffrey Schmitz and Haley Riedle, registered psychiatric nurses (RPN), have offered virtual appointments through RAAM Digital Front Door since the service launched two years ago in 2024, conducting assessments and helping people connect with treatment and support options that fit their unique needs and goals.
