Advocacy & Resources
We work with the local community and area public officials to promote awareness, support policy and provide resources to prevent opioid-related deaths and non-fatal overdoses.

United Way 2-1-1 is a simple to use and remember telephone number that connects the community with important services that include:
Naloxone/Narcan® Program
The Tyler Yount Foundation partners with law enforcement, healthcare providers and community members to educate and train them to administer Naloxone in an overdose emergency.
The Opioid Crisis
Opioid Abuse is a Critical Public Health Issue
Overdoses continue rise in the United States and central Illinois affecting people of all ages and races. Prescription opioids are contributing to this increase. It’s important for people to know that prescription opioids can be addictive and dangerous.

Emergency Help
In the event of an emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately.
