Could you save a life with NARCAN?—and would you know how?

Now, Denise is channeling her unimaginable loss into an unstoppable mission: to make sure you and everyone you love know the full truth about overdose response.
Her message is heartbreakingly simple—and absolutely vital:
Narcan can bring someone back. But only 911 can keep them alive.
