A resolution designating June 6, 2024, as National Naloxone Awareness Day.
SRES 726 designates June 6, 2024, as National Naloxone Awareness Day to highlight naloxone's role in reversing opioid overdoses. The resolution emphasizes that naloxone is a safe, effective medication that can save lives when administered promptly during opioid emergencies. It encourages public education about naloxone access, reduces stigma around substance use disorder, and urges federal and local agencies to support broader distribution efforts. This symbolic measure does not create new laws but aims to increase awareness and access to life-saving overdose reversal medication.
