Support Opioid Harm Reduction 

The Opioid Harm Reduction (OHR) Project aims to make sure that no one in Canada experiences an opioid poisoning emergency without assistance. We want to reduce opioid-related deaths by eliminating stigma, promoting helpful behaviors, and training on how to administer naloxone. Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality.
