It's these stories that kind of, I think, really humanize what is happening in our communities, but also, I hope, make people get rid of that stigmatized view that they've had, that it's, oh blank kind of person that's at risk of an overdose.
Picture this: ordinary people stepping up to save lives from opioid overdoses. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos dives into the life-saving power of naloxone. She chats with Dr. Jennifer Plumb, the Medical Director for Utah Naloxone, and Megan West, the Program Manager at the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health. They shine a light on the 'YOU and Naloxone Saved My Life' campaign, a movement that empowers everyday citizens to act in critical moments.
Dr. Plumb emphasizes, 'these could be our sisters, these could be our friends, these could be our neighbors'. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how Utah is leading the charge in reducing the stigma around opioid addiction and giving people a second chance at life. If you're curious about how you can make a difference or just want to hear inspiring stories of community action, this episode is a must-listen.
