Naloxone (Narcan) Program
In an effort to reduce opioid overdose fatalities in our community, the St. Joseph County Department of Health is working to increase public access to naloxone, a medication that can save the life of an individual experiencing an opioid overdose. We provide naloxone at no cost to anyone in the county and have distributed nearly two dozen public access naloxone cabinets throughout the area. We are always looking for new cabinet locations; please contact us if you are interested in learning more about this opportunity.
Our health promotion specialist also provides free Naloxone training and opioid education to any groups or organizations in the county interested in learning more about opioids, the signs of an overdose, and how to administer naloxone.
We are grateful to provide such a significant resource that supports our community and ultimately encourages substance use treatment.
A life saved can be a life restored.

Mental Health First Aid
Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based training program administered by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing
that teaches people how to identify, understand, and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use
challenge. Similar to physical First Aid and CPR, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a
mental health or substance abuse crisis until professional assistance is obtained or the crisis is resolved.
