💟 #NationalRecoveryMonth

🗣️ Last week, while getting ready to instruct my SPARTA class at the Milano Family Senior Center in Melrose, I noticed an Opioid Overdose Rescue Kit placed right alongside the AED cabinet.

⛑️ Having these kits visible in #community centers is a crucial step forward. #Addiction affects people from all walks of life, across every generation. As someone with an EMT-B background with 11+ years in recovery, I know firsthand that immediate access to rescue tools is the bridge between a tragedy and a second chance. Normalizing harm reduction normalizes life-saving care.

📢 Let's continue advocating for education, compassion, and life-saving resources in all of our public spaces.

🚨 If you witness an overdose, call 911 immediately.

💚 If you or someone you know needs support for mental health or substance use, dial or text 988 for free, confidential help.

You are worth it. 🙏🏽
