LIFESAVING
Overdose Aid Kit
Overdose Aid Kits (O.A.K.s) are metal boxes that make naloxone, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved opioid overdose-reversal medication, and other lifesaving resources more readily accessible in communities.
People who access O.A.K.s can take naloxone inside free of charge — no questions asked — to use in an emergency or to keep in their first-aid kit.
Turning the Tide
During the pandemic, drug overdoses became the third leading cause of death for U.S. adolescents. While overdose deaths among this age group have decreased since their peak in 2021, the U.S. lost nearly 6,000 young people ages 15-24 in 2023.
To help turn the tide on this crisis, the Overdose Response Network within the Clinton Foundation is working with Start Healing Now to bring together superintendents, school personnel, local health departments, and collegiate recovery programs to get Overdose Aid Kits, fentanyl awareness, and naloxone training into middle and high schools, colleges, and universities across the country.
Please take a look at our recent work in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with all our amazing partners.
