Harm reductionist and friend of HRT Van Asher took a moment to talk about how he sees HRT.🤍 We aim to be a people-over-profit organization every single day. After all, people need to be saved, not profits. Thanks for your words, Van. 💪

Modern-day harm reduction has been shaped by Black women throughout history who improve the lives & safety of Black communities and people who use drugs (PWUD). The world of harm reduction wouldn’t be the same without the leadership, commitment & compassion of these incredible harm reductionists.
Today we recognize #IOAD by remembering those we have lost, those who remember them, those who have come back, and those who dedicate their lives to ending overdose. No matter where you fall, we send you love. We are proud to stand alongside this community in the fight to save lives compassionately.
One of HRT’s goals is to reduce the avoidance of naloxone. We believe that by making a compassionate dose that reduces the risk & intensity of precipitated withdrawal, people will be less likely to avoid naloxone or to use drugs alone. (cont. in comments)
Reducing symptoms of precipitated withdrawal for the person undergoing them has a positive ripple effect on loved ones, witnesses, and the first responders who are trying to lessen the discomfort of an overdose. With RiVive 3 mg naloxone, we extend compassion to all affected by opioid overdose.
The Hippocratic Oath and Compassionate Overdose Response™️ are deeply intertwined - both are guided by care and respect for the patient above all. RiVive’s 3 mg naloxone nasal spray is an effective way to reverse opioid overdose while minimizing harm.🤝⚕️
We’re so glad carrying naloxone is becoming more normalized, BUT we want to emphasize the importance of rescue breathing during an overdose too. After you administer that first dose of RiVive 3 mg, rescue breathing is important to supply oxygen to the brain of the person you are reviving.
This month is Mental Health Awareness Month, which means we’re thinking about the mental wellbeing of everyone in our communities, regardless of your story. This year’s theme resonated with us since our core belief is that everyone deserves another day on Earth with their loved ones.🩶
Throughout August, we’re honoring International Overdose Awareness Day by standing with @overdoseday.bsky.social to remember those we’ve lost, support those still struggling, and advocate for harm reduction. 💜 #OneBigFamily.
People-first & people-focused is our approach for gathering data at HRT. As part of our 2025 Community Feedback Report, we asked folks with firsthand experience receiving and/or administering RiVive to tell us if it worked the way it’s intended. Read the full report on our website.
We see caregivers through the eyes of RiVive.🩶 Using a 3 mg naloxone nasal spray has a ripple effect that impacts those who administer it and are responsible for the wellbeing of the person who overdosed. That’s why compassionate dosing matters to the person who’s overdosed and their caregivers.

Een man redde een cobra door hem water te geven. Toen de cobra weer hersteld was, viel het de man meteen aan. Zo gaat het ook met mensen uit Afrikaanse en islamitische landen; je geeft ze alles en krijgt daar een hoop geweld en stank voor terug. Het blijven wilde beesten! #Fix

When reposted this article about this #ElectricVehicle I didn't post a video with it like I usually do because I didn't find one at that time. Anyway, as a green #technology enthusiast, I'm glad that Ora plans to export this SUV because it's so inexpensive at prices of US$14,460 to US$19,390.

Inflation is higher than we’d like and we know that puts Australians under pressure, that’s why we're taking action by rolling out cost-of-living help including two more tax cuts, and getting the budget in much better condition than we inherited.
