How to Get Naloxone:
Check with your local pharmacy about obtaining a naloxone kit. All New York pharmacies may dispense naloxone through a standing order (non-patient specific prescription) issued by New York State DOH.
Participants of a naloxone rescue training session, on-line or in-person, will receive a naloxone kit and a certificate of completion. If you have an expired naloxone kit you can email [email protected] and they will send out a new kit.

Calling all campers! Have you registered for CPP yet? We hope to see you there! 🥰🥳
The Prevention Council is excited to partner with Camp Peaceprints (CPP) this summer! Come join us July 17-28 for some wellness and fun! A Message From Camp PeacePrints:
"Camp Peaceprints is a two-week summer camp designed to introduce 8–13-year-old youth to social justice, while providing them with peaceful conflict resolution skills and exposure to a broader community. CPP is a collaboration between the SSJ Sister Karen Klimczak Center for Nonviolence, the WNY Peace Center and the Prevention Council of Erie County.
Our 2023 theme is “Healthy Lives Matter.” We will explore what personal and community health is and how to maintain it. We will consider fundamental components of health: fresh air, clean water, sunlight, mindfulness/meditation or connecting to a higher power, sleep, exercise, whole foods, and rest.
We will learn how a healthy environment benefits us, other living creatures, and the earth. We will explore justice issues around health equity that various communities face and why impoverished communities face major health challenges.
Campers will learn what resources people need in order to have a healthy community. They will understand that their own physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, spiritual, financial and occupational health matters in creating a healthy community.
You can learn more about Camp Peaceprints and register campers at http://www.sisterkarencenter.org/camp-peaceprints.
