A huge thanks to Benjamin Kaye for delivering naloxone training to our members – it was a really informative session!

For those who don’t know, naloxone is an emergency medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, including overdoses involving drugs such as he**in, methadone and synthetic opioids such as nitazenes.

It’s important to know that naloxone only works on opioids. The three main drugs associated with chemsex – GHB/GBL, crystal methamphetamine and mephedrone – are not opioids, so naloxone won’t reverse an overdose caused by these drugs alone.

However, potent synthetic opioids have been detected within the UK illicit drug supply, sometimes without people knowing they are present. While this does not mean that chemsex drugs routinely contain opioids, having naloxone available can be an important additional harm-reduction measure if an opioid overdose is suspected.

Knowing how to recognise an opioid overdose and how to use naloxone could help save a life – find out more via the link in our bio 📲

Sometimes, one conversation can make a difference. As we come together for When We Speak, we’re also sharing a simple framework from Samaritans for supporting someone who may be struggling. Remember, you don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes listening is where it begins. Swipe through the SHUSH guide ➡️

Hey everyone, as we approach ***dePreventionDay on 10 September, Impulse chapters across the globe are coming together to advocate for su***de prevention.

Suicidal thoughts are often hidden from the world. Research suggests that a substantial proportion of people experiencing suicidal thoughts or suicidal actions never disclose them to anyone, meaning that someone close to you could be struggling deeply or even thinking about or planning su***de without you being aware.

For q***r people, the risk is even greater. LGBTQ+ people face 2.2 times the risk of su***de. In 2018, UK research found that 46% of trans people had thought about taking their own life and 12% had attempted su***de in the previous year. Eight years later, as trans people in the UK continue to face growing challenges, these figures remain deeply concerning.

This is a warning that we need to pay closer attention, start conversations and remember that silence does not always mean someone is doing fine.

Remember, you don’t need to be a professional to make a difference. Check in with the people around you. Sometimes, simply asking “How are you, really?” can open a conversation that might otherwise never happen. Life is a unique and precious experience, and sometimes one conversation can help someone hold on to it.

Lots of love,
Impulse London 🫶💚

In honour of World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re hosting When We Speak, a spoken word and conversation event opening up honest conversations around su***de prevention.

Through spoken word and discussion, we’ll explore the realities of su***de and the stigma that can make it difficult to ask for support. The event will also give you practical tools and confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling and support someone experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Sometimes, knowing what to say - and having the confidence to say it - can make a difference.

Save the date. More details coming soon 🗓️
