If you need help right now
First, the most important thing on this page: if you or someone you love is struggling, please don't wait for me. You are not alone, and the groups below can help right now, without an ounce of shame.
In an overdose emergency: Call 911 and give naloxone (Narcan) if you have it.
Need naloxone? Find it free through Live4Lali (you don’t have to be in IL - we will get you what you need) and the National Harm Reduction Coalition, or over the counter at most pharmacies.
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 (or chat at 988lifeline.org). You can reach 988 for a substance use crisis as well.
Never Use Alone: 877-696-1996 — a confidential, judgment-free overdose prevention hotline for people using alone; a trained operator stays on the line and sends help if needed. Operators have lived experience.
However, you found your way here — to book me, pitch a project, talk about the issues, or just because something on this site hit home — I'm glad you did. I read everything that comes through, even when it takes me a minute to write back. (I'm one human running a lot of things, with two kids and a serious coffee habit. Grace appreciated.)
