Our Lion’s PRIDE (Peer Recovery Internship for Development and Empowerment) cohort joined Strength In Peers’ Harm Reduction Outreach Team this week for hands-on learning in the field. 🦁

Through experiential outreach, interns helped distribute Naloxone (Narcan)—the life-saving medication that reverses overdose—along with drug testing strips and education on how to prevent and respond to overdose. They also practiced building rapport and trust with current and potential participants, an essential part of effective peer support.
