Videos
Videos can be a compelling way of informing the public about the value of naloxone, the pain of losing someone to an overdose, and the power of life in recovery. Videos can tell moving stories that encourage viewers to reflect on the crisis, change belies, or take action.
The Consortium has produced several series of videos that your organization can use to promote Colorado Naloxone Awareness Month (in August), International Overdose Awareness Day (on Aug. 31), and Recovery Month (in September.) The videos below can be shared on social media, used on websites, or shown during events. Please let the Consortium know if you would like to use the videos by emailing us.

These videos were produced in conjunction with OpiRescue, a smartphone app that can help reverse overdoses.
