"Naloxone needs to become part of our first aid kits. We all need to know how to use it. We all need to stock it - whether it's in our cars or our cupboards. I've work in the AOD sector for a long while now and know many dead people that would be alive today if someone around them had naloxone. We all need to be looking out for each other and this is one way to do it."
