Talk to someone

Someone has overdosed

  1. Call 911. Say “someone is not breathing.”
  2. Give naloxone (Narcan) if you have it. One spray in one nostril.
  3. Lay them on their side. If you know rescue breathing, do it.
  4. No response after 2 to 3 minutes? Give a second dose.
  5. Stay until help arrives. Most states protect people who call.

You are thinking about suicide

  1. Call or text 988. You do not need to be sure it is an emergency.
  2. Move away from anything you could use to hurt yourself.
  3. Do not stay alone. Go to where a person is, or call one.
  4. If you have used or been drinking, wait. This will feel different sober.

While you wait, breathe with this

Ready

In for 4. Hold for 4. Out for 4. Hold for 4. Four rounds takes about a minute.
