Naloxone Access & Integration Sprint: Breaking Down Barriers to Care

As part of our ongoing commitment to addressing substance use and pregnancy, we are excited to announce our upcoming Naloxone Access & Integration Sprint. This educational sprint is designed to support healthcare communities in expanding Naloxone access and distribution within perinatal care settings.

Throughout this sprint, participants will explore effective strategies, implementation approaches, and policy considerations, while fighting stigma and breaking down barriers to access. Through shared learning, discussion, and collaboration, this sprint seeks to identify opportunities and practical steps to further normalize and integrate Naloxone in perinatal care. Overall, this intends to strengthen community-wide overdose prevention efforts in Minnesota.
