Our fellow Arkansans are suffering from opioid addiction and overdose. Since 2017, 410 Arkansans have died from an opioid-related overdose. Opioid overdoses have increased by roughly 300% over the past 18 years.

CJI focused on increasing health literacy, addressing prescription drug- and opioid-misuse disorders, and promoting the importance of calling 911 in the event of an overdose with the “Don’t Run. Call 911” campaign.

Results of this particular, one-year effort included:
The NARCANsas App also won a tech/innovation award from the Arkansas Governor’s Office.
