WHAT IS PINN?
P.I.N.N. (Phoenix Interventional Naloxone Network) is a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to combating opioid overdoses in our community. Unlike other Narcan distributors, P.I.N.N. takes an interventional approach to distribution. Rather than simply placing Narcan in fixed locations and relying on individuals to seek it out, we actively engage with those most at risk, such as people experiencing homelessness, by personally delivering Narcan and providing direct education.
Our team conducts on-site seminars within homeless encampments, demonstrating how to administer the nasal spray, recognize the signs of an overdose, respond appropriately, and address any questions participants may have. This hands-on approach ensures that those in need are empowered to save lives.
P.I.N.N. was founded on the belief that the fight against opioid-related deaths is not over until every life is saved. In addition to serving the homeless population, we supply Emergency Boxes to schools and event venues, extending our mission to safeguard all corners of our community.
WHAT IS NARCAN?
The Life-Saving Solution for Opioid Overdoses
Every year in the U.S., there are 105,000 overdoses. Of those overdoses, around 80% are caused by opioids. Narcan completely reverses an opioid overdose, learn more in this video.
EMERGENCY BOXES:
PREPARED FOR EVERY MOMENT
Our Emergency Boxes provide a straightforward and effective solution for ensuring Narcan is accessible and available at large gatherings around the clock. Much like a fire extinguisher or an AED, these boxes are designed with the hope that they will never need to be used. However, in moments of crisis, their presence can be critical in saving lives.
So what is in an Emergency Box?
Narcan Nasal Spray – 1 Spray.
Red Bag – Makes the Narcan stand out.
Magnet – Ensures secure placement.
Overdose Guide – Learn to recognize an overdose.
Narcan Instructions – Step-by-step guide for administration.
