National Overdose Response Service (NORS)

National 24/7 overdose prevention hotline provides confidential, nonjudgemental support for individuals whenever and wherever they use drugs. Connects anyone who is alone and using drugs with a peer who can quickly call for help if needed. The peer checks in periodically and calls 911 if there is no response or concern of overdose. For areas with long emergency wait times, callers also have the option of providing the number of a friend or someone they trust to respond to them should they have an overdose (in conjunction with 911 being contacted). Partnership program between Grenfell Ministries and Brave Technology Co-op. Serves Canada.
