Let’s Talk About Narcan. 🤍
At Start Healing Now, we know not everyone agrees with harm reduction. We know this topic can feel uncomfortable.
Our goal isn’t to argue.
Our goal is to break stigma — because stigma keeps people silent.
And silence costs lives.
⚠️ Narcan is not permission.
⚠️ It is not approval.
⚠️ It is not encouragement.
♥️ It is a medication that restores breathing when someone would otherwise die.
Overdoses don’t just happen to “other people.” They happen in our neighborhoods and families.
Real scenarios:
• A grandmother who miscounted pain medication
• A toddler who found pills in a purse
• A cancer patient whose prescribed dose became too much
• A high school senior who made one impulsive choice
• A person in recovery whose tolerance had dropped
Pause for a second.
If that were your child… your parent… your spouse…
Would you want Narcan there?
We don’t control pharmaceutical pricing. We can’t fix every barrier in healthcare.
But Narcan is available to us through public health partnerships to prevent overdose deaths — and because we have access to it, we use it to save lives.
This isn’t political.
It’s about breathing.
You may never need it.
But what if someone you love does?
If we can prevent a death in Wisconsin, we will. 💜
