In 2025, End Overdose has teamed up with the Arkansas Department of Public Health to saturate the state with free naloxone and overdose response education. Leading the way on this initiative is Arkansas Outreach & Fulfillment Coordinator Sierra Jeans, a University of Arkansas graduate and Arkansas native. In tandem with Sierra’s work on the ground, ranging from training first responders and treatment centers to community event attendees and festival goers, End Overdose has made naloxone available for free with free shipping on our website for all Arkansas residents. To date, we’ve already distributed over 2,400 doses of naloxone and trained over a thousand residents.
There’s much work to be done, but we’re thrilled about partnering with the state of Arkansas and Sierra’s work to lead the way. Today, we’re sharing a conversation with Sierra about the insights she’s gleaned as an Arkansas native making lifesaving resources free and accessible for all.
