TESTIMONIALS
I'm so, so thankful for the training and materials we received at DBG (Detroit Boxing Gym) from Families Against Narcotics, particularly because this situation was completely out of the blue: I was just at home on a Saturday night and the parent of one of my daughter's friends told me she had seen someone lying on the side of the road. There was also, luckily, a paramedic driving by who stopped (but didn't have Narcan!), and EMS arrived quickly. But it really did work rapidly. - Meredith P.
"I had a co-worker at my job overdose and thanks to your training and FAN, we were able to give him the dose I had and do CPR before EMS arrived. I have been carrying naloxone for less than a year and it saved a life. I think everyone should have it if they can. My employer now wants to have it on site." - Alex A.
“I took the virtual last summer, July 2022. A man was overdosing in a car parked outside of my neighbor's home and I gave one dose before 911 arrived” - RW, Detroit
"Thank you again for the presentation. I found it very informative, as I did not know anything about overdoses or Narcan use. I have been a nurse for 30 years, but pediatrics and NICU the first half, then Operating Room to present. This was a very short, but information packed presentation” - JM, Wyandotte
