📢 New Community Partnership!
Thrive is excited to partner with the Vero Beach Main Library and the Sebastian Library to make Naloxone (Narcan) more accessible in our community. 💙

We’ve installed Naloxone boxes at both library locations, stocked with free Narcan right in the lobby. Anyone can take a kit to keep on hand for themselves, a loved one, or a neighbor.

Narcan is easy to use and can save a life during an opioid overdose. By working together, we’re helping make our community safer and more prepared.

Stop by the Vero Beach Main Library or Sebastian Library to pick up a free kit. If you would like more information on Narcan, please contact us https://thrive-irc.org

🚨 Save a Life Day – This Thursday! 🚨

Thrive and our community partners will be out across the county this Thursday for Save a Life Day, distributing FREE Narcan.

💉 What is Narcan?
Narcan (naloxone) is a safe, easy-to-use medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. It has no harmful effects if given to someone not experiencing an overdose—so having it on hand can truly save a life.

✨ Why it matters:

Restores breathing during an overdose
Buys time for emergency help to arrive
Empowers friends, family, and bystanders to act in a crisis

📍 Look for our teams at these locations:

North County Library in Sebastian from 10-1pm
United Against Poverty of Indian River County from 11-1pm
Main County Library in Vero Beach from 1-4pm
The Emerson Center in Vero Beach from 1-4pm.

Stop by, pick up free Narcan, and learn how to use it—you never know when you could save a life.
