Here’s a quick tip for emergencies: If you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed, call 988 for emotional support and guidance. If you suspect an overdose, call 911 immediately and administer naloxone if it’s available.

Knowing when to choose the right response can make all the difference in getting effective help when it’s needed most.

It was a beautiful day in the middle of a lot of rainy cold ones. This meant it was the perfect day to door knock in Central Park to share out our monthly block talk newsletter.

Door knocking is such a powerful and personal way to connect with neighbors and share resources at the same time. All ages can participate in door knocking and it ensures that you reach the neighbors who may not get the opportunity to engage in the more traditional ways.

If you’d like to help with door knocking in your neighborhood you can reach out to us at PARS to get connected with neighbors so you don’t have to go walking alone.
