LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, July 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition (KYHRC) has recently released a new website with the help of Honeywick LLC, a Louisville-based website design and development agency. Website visitors can now easily access the different resources and educational tools that the KYHRC offers, such as:
— Services, including overdose and naloxone distribution and training
— Facts and signs of overdose
— Programs like syringe exchange, test strip distribution, and health kiosks
— An introduction to their Wellness Lounge at 721 S Brook St, Louisville, KY 40203
— Upcoming events, including Naloxone training and harm reduction kit-making parties

The KYHRC has provided Naloxone training to more than 200 governmental agencies, non-profits, schools, and businesses. Many of these training sessions have been virtual and are now more accessible on their website.

Naloxone, which is more commonly known by the brand name Narcan^®, reverses the effects of opioid overdose via injection. It attaches to the same parts of the brain that receive heroin and other opioids, and it blocks the opioids for 30-90 minutes to reverse the respiratory depression that would otherwise lead to death from overdose. Communities that participate in Naloxone education and use it see a 50% reduction in overdose cases. The KYHRC works to make education and resources more accessible than ever, online and in-person.
