Hire Knowledge

Substance use disorder costs U.S. corporations a collective $81 billion a year (horizonhealthnews.com).This June 6, in observance of National Naloxone Awareness Day (NNAD), your company can be a vital part of the solution. Join us this NNAD by encouraging employees to wear purple, illuminating your buildings purple, or distributing purple ribbons. These simple yet powerful actions ignite crucial conversations about the opioid crisis and the lifesaving potential of naloxone. While the nearly 24% decrease in U.S. drug overdose deaths is encouraging, there is more to be done (cdc.gov).

Your organization’s participation in NNAD demonstrates a commitment to the well-being of your employees and their families and helps destigmatize substance use disorder. To support your involvement on June 6 and throughout the year, Victoria’s Voice has created an NNAD Toolkit and a comprehensive Get. Give. Save. Toolkit to provide you with valuable information on substance use disorder and naloxone administration, easily shareable through your internal communications.
