⭐️ Educational Fact: Naloxone is a safe, FDA-approved medication that can reverse an opioid overdose within minutes. It will not harm someone if opioids are not present, which is why having it accessible in our community saves lives.

Southern Highlands QLA (QRT/LEAD) Team was out in the community today conducting street outreach and ensuring our local blessing boxes are stocked with Naloxone and vital resources for anyone in need of mental health or substance use disorder services.

We’re committed to meeting people where they are — providing education, support, and access to life-saving tools because help should never be out of reach.

If you or someone you know needs resources or assistance, we are here to help — just give us a call!
• Need help finding treatment or recovery support?
• Want Naloxone training for your workplace, church, or community group?
• Need Narcan to keep on hand for yourself or a loved one?
• Have expired Naloxone? We’ll safely take it and replace it with in-date doses.

No judgment. Just support.

Together, we can reduce stigma, increase awareness, and remind our community that recovery is possible!
