Naloxone News 09/04/2024
The York Naloxone Knights were able to spend the afternoon with a team of Peers from Harrogate. The newly formed Naloxone Guardians are working hard to launch their own valuable service in Harrogate and later across other areas of North Yorkshire.
As Changing Lives in York are the drug & alcohol service provider North Yorkshire Horizons in collaboration with the Peer led group North Yorkshire Connected Spaces are the partnership leading this great initiative.
We were also joined by a representative from North Yorkshire Police. Where we learnt how both peer led groups will be able to assist in helping to train their staff when a new Police Staff Naloxone Scheme goes live this year.
Organisation News 04/04/2024
Building a LERO, which is what we are. A Lived Experience Recovery Organisation (CHECK OUT THIS LINK https://www.clero.co.uk/ ). Is hard work. It takes dedication, ambition and lots of hope. A bit like early recovery for a person does many people would say.
We certainly do.
From next week we will have three employees. Its another milestone for us. Its also a bit scary and a big responsibility with risks for all concerned. If nothing else we will endevour to do it right and care for people. We are a living wage employer because it is simply the right thing to do.
