This year I volunteered with the safe-point harm reduction clinic that works to keep individuals that are currently battling drug dependency to stay healthy and safe as they work to get clean. I started my service by building harm reduction kits that are used to lower the risk of disease passage, poisoning, and injury during injection drug use. I decided to become more involved after this initial project because I feel passionate about the reduction of harmful drug use and overdoses in a city where overdose is rampant.

They connected me to a non-profit group based out of New York that trains in the administration of nasal spray naloxone.
