Imagine you have a friend who loves skateboarding, but sometimes they fall and get hurt. Harm reduction is like giving your friend a helmet or teaching them how to land safely. It doesn't stop them from skateboarding, but it helps them not get hurt as much if they fall. 

Harm reduction means finding ways to make sure that when people do something that might not be very safe, like taking drugs or having casual sex, they can do it in a way that's less likely to hurt them or others. It's about helping everyone stay as safe as possible, even when they're doing risky things.

Naloxone can prevent overdose deaths. In 2019, one study found opioids were linked to almost 50,000 deaths, and that bystanders were present in one out of every 3. Often, someone is there when an overdose happens. If they have naloxone, they can use it to possibly save a life. Anyone can carry and use naloxone in an emergency.
