Project Hope began in 2017 to fight the opioid crisis in Alaska.
According to Tim Easterly, Program Coordinator for Project Hope with the Alaska Department of Health’s Office of Substance Misuse Addiction Prevention, “The whole point was to increase access to Naloxone across the state.”
Many of the state’s partners are agencies with a built-in at-risk clientele, according to Easterly. “Whenever they need materials, they just tell us what they need and we do our best to make sure we have it on hand.”
