We are honored to be part of this project!

📚 We are thrilled to be partnering with the Ocmulgee Regional Library System for the pilot phase of our Rural Opioid Harm Reduction for Libraries Project! Through this project, is able to provide library staff with training, support, education, and harm reduction tools. Ultimately, this will create a scalable statewide model that equips public libraries to serve as trusted, stigma-free spaces where community members can access information, naloxone (Narcan) and connections to local harm reduction and recovery services.
