## Summary

**This resolution designates June 6, 2026, as National Naloxone Awareness Day and focuses on _increasing access to naloxone_.** It frames naloxone as a safe, effective overdose-reversal tool and cites about 43,810 overdose deaths in the 12 months ending November 2025 to underscore urgency. - Families and individuals: Encourages education on recognizing opioid overdoses and on how to safely administer naloxone, noting it can save lives and prevent long-term brain damage. - Healthcare professionals and first responders: Promotes training so responders and clinicians can intervene quickly in emergencies. - Federal, State, and local governments plus nonprofits: Urges these bodies to identify and address barriers and to support wider naloxone distribution and public education. - Federal agencies and regulators: Calls on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office of National Drug Control Policy, Drug Enforcement Administration, and others to continue naloxone awareness efforts. It also references 2024 FDA actions allowing over-the-counter 10 milligram naloxone and extending shelf life of newly made 4 milligram nasal spray to 4 years.
