OEND Program Manager (LACHP)

Los Angeles Community Health Project (CHPLA) is a program of Heluna Health.

CHPLA’s mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of people affected by substance use in Los Angeles, to increase access to health care, to empower people to protect themselves, and educate each other to reduce harm in our communities.

CHPLA combines direct services, advocacy, outreach, education, and research collaborations to fulfill this mission.

Los Angeles Community Health Project was founded in 1992. 

The Los Angeles County (County) Department of Health Services (DHS) Office of Diversion and Reentry (ODR) Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) program will expand access to naloxone across the County.

The aim of the OEND program is to provide harm reduction training and naloxone to people who use County services, and for those who are likely to witness or discover an overdose.

Naloxone is an opioid antagonist which is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

Because of the high mortality rates among people leaving incarceration, the leading intended population to share overdose education and naloxone are with people released from County jails or by outreach in their communities.
