The purpose of the HOPE Initiative is to provide Heightened Overdose Prevention & Education to Jackson County. HOPE is not just an acronym for our prevention program, but it also a message to those struggling with addiction and their loved ones. Every time Naloxone reverses an opioid overdose, there is an opportunity for that person to overcome their addiction. Every life is important and every one deserves a chance at recovery. There is HOPE. Anyone who is in need of Naloxone can obtain it through the Jackson County Health Department. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, JCHD is limiting services inside of the building. Because of this, we will be doing virtual trainings. If you are in need of Naloxone, follow these simple steps: Below you will find a training video from our Community Naloxone Specialist.
