Narcan Saves Lives in Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s opioid overdose deaths are dropping — down from 1,422 in 2023 to 818 in 2024 — but the crisis isn’t over. Communities like Douglas County are stepping up with Narcan training, empowering people to save lives in minutes. One mom credits Narcan for saving her son’s life — now five years sober and using Narcan to help 10–15 others. These trainings are open to all, plus free Narcan access. While numbers improve, stigma remains, and volunteers stress: stay with someone after Narcan use until help arrives. Beyond emergency response, the coalition hosts events like medication disposal days and movie nights — turning crisis into community care.
