NARCAN
SAVES LIVES

THANK YOU to the Wayne County Health Department for their commitment to Project DAWN. They have distributed over 900 Project Dawn Kits!
Project Dawn is a community-based drug overdose prevention and education project. Project DAWN is named in memory of Leslie Dawn Cooper, who struggled with addiction for years before dying of a witnessed opioid overdose on October 3, 2009.
Participants receive training on:
Recognizing the signs & symptoms of overdose
Calling emergency medical services
Administering intranasal Naloxone
Monitoring person until help arrives
DID YOU KNOW?
Fentanyl is the leading cause of drug overdose deaths in Wayne County. It is in cocaine, pressed pills, methamphetamine, and heroin.
Any Drug May Contain Fentanyl. TEST BEFORE USING.
Test your drugs before using. Get free fentanyl tests strips.
Emergency Access Naloxone Cabinet
It is a box that hangs on the wall to store Naloxone/Narcan, the life-saving opioid overdose reversal drug, much like you see AED machines in public places. It allows the public easy access to Narcan during an overdose emergency. Please contact us at
The Good Samaritan Law and Emergency Access Naloxone Cabinets
Ohio law contains a “Good Samaritan” clause that protects someone who gives naloxone to an overdosing person and then calls 9-1-1, even if the caller was using drugs. This same law applies to locations that host NaloxBoxes (Section 2925.61: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2925.61).
Wayne County Quick Response Team
Wayne County Quick Response Team is a vital community resource that connects individuals who have experienced a non-fatal overdose with treatment and support services. The QRT model is built on the principles of the Good Samaritan Law, aiming to intervene early and compassionately.
This initiative is led by the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Wayne and Holmes Counties (WHMHRB) in partnership with OneEighty, the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, and Medway DEA.
W.I.S.E.
The W.I.S.E. Program at Catholic Charities is a unique service that provides individualized support for families who have a member with both a mental health challenge and a developmental disability. The program uses the Wraparound framework, which is a collaborative and strength-based approach that involves the family, professionals, and natural supports in creating a plan to meet the family’s needs and goals.
The W.I.S.E Program offers counseling, case management, parental support and meetings to enable families to develop a support system. Our staff coordinates with professionals who may have involvement with the family, such as therapists, doctors, teachers, or social workers, and also a family’s natural support network, such as relatives, friends, neighbors, or faith communities. The program arranges Wraparound meetings that are facilitated by a W.I.S.E wraparound facilitator, who is a trained professional who will assist a family in exploring their strengths and identifying their needs. The facilitator will also help the family access resources and services in the community that can address their needs and enhance their strengths.
The wraparound team, which includes the family and their chosen supports, works together to find help in the community and develop a stronger support system. The team also monitors the progress of the family and adjusts the plan as needed. The W.I.S.E Program aims to empower families to achieve their desired outcomes and improve their quality of life.
The W.I.S.E Program has no age requirement and accepts referrals for clients who have both a developmental disability and mental health diagnosis. Referrals can be made to Lisa Hostetler with Catholic Charities. She can be reached by phone at (330) 641-9462 or by email at Lhostetler@ccdocle.org.
What is MRSS?
MRSS is a no-cost service that provides behavioral health crisis support for youth ages 20 and under.
What if I'm not at home when the crisis occurs?
MRSS crisis responders will come to youth no matter where they are - at home, at school, or any safe place in the community
How do I know if the crisis qualifies for MRSS
You define the crisis, and no issue is too large or too small. If it feels like a crisis to you or the young person, you can call for MRSS.
How long does it take for responders to arrive?
Support should arrive at your location within 60 minutes of the initial contact.
What number do I call for MRSS?
988 is the number for MRSS across Ohio. Call 988 and ask for MRSS.
Can someone call on behalf of a young person?
Yes, parents, teachers, medical professionals, or peers can all call for MRSS on behalf of the young person experiencing the crisis. Consent is required before behavioral health services can be rendered.
What happens after the crisis responders arrive?
Responders will calm the crisis, help make a safety plan, and provide resources for ongoing support. If needed and if the youth agrees, MRSS also includes up to 42 days of continued in-home services after the initial call.
How do families and schools benefit?
• From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, in all counties, MRSS offers same-day, face-to-face support in homes, schools or community settings.
• Families no longer need to wait for outpatient appointments or rely solely on emergency departments for crisis care.
• Families and youth learn de-scalation skills, coping skills, and conflict resolution skills.
• Teachers and school officials have a resource beyond law enforcement to intervene during a crisis.
Keeping children in the community and families intact
• MRSS brings help to the family where they are, when they need it.
• MRSS prioritizes clinical and supportive responses, reducing reliance on police in youth crises.
• Families report that MRSS response and ongoing stabilization visits reduce stress, prevent hospitalizations, and give hope.
Of the MRSS youth who received stabilization services (statewide) from
July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025:
• Over 99% had no new admissions to residential treatment centers, crisis stabilization units, or detention centers.
• 97% had no new school suspensions or expulsions.
• 95% had no new admissions to inpatient hospitals.
