✨ Will County Rapid Response Naloxone Team — 2025 Reflection ✨
This year, our Will County Rapid Response Naloxone Team has worked harder than ever — and the year isn’t even over yet.
In 2025 alone, we’ve distributed over 11000 boxes of naloxone throughout our communities. Eleven thousand moments of possibility. Eleven thousand chances for someone to survive, to come back, to try again.
Every outreach, every conversation in a parking lot or public space has meant something. We’ve touched countless lives — individuals, families, and whole neighborhoods — offering not just supplies, but hope, compassion, and real pathways to safety.
Beyond naloxone, our team has helped connect people to treatment, recovery supports, and community resources. Those linkages matter. Sometimes they’re the beginning of a life changing chapter.
I’m proud of this team.
Proud of the heart they bring.
Proud of the grit, the late nights, the tough conversations, and the unwavering belief that every life is worth saving.
2025 has been powerful — and we’re not done yet. 💛
Here’s to continuing the work, showing up for our county, and reminding people that help is always within reach.
