What if a single item in your bag could be the reason your child survives an opioid overdose?

Opioid overdoses are tragically common, and many parents feel powerless watching their children struggle with substance use. This episode addresses the urgent need for Narcan—a life-saving medication—to be part of every concerned parent’s toolkit, not as a sign of surrender, but as a powerful step in harm reduction and love-driven action.

  • Discover exactly what Narcan (Naloxone) is and how it can reverse opioid overdoses in seconds.
  • Learn how carrying Narcan is not enabling addiction but providing a critical lifeline that could give your child another chance at recovery.
  • Gain compassionate communication strategies to discuss Narcan with your child in a way that builds trust, not shame.

Listen now to learn how carrying Narcan could be the most courageous act of love you make today.
