Core offering

SAFE Project is a nonprofit organization that combats the U.S. addiction and overdose epidemic through free education, prevention, training, advocacy, and recovery-support programs delivered across four population segments (communities, campuses, workplaces, and veterans). Its core deliverables include anti-stigma campaigns (No Shame Movement), peer recovery specialist training (I-FPRS), naloxone and buprenorphine access resources, family support directories, and at-home medication disposal campaigns (Gone for Good).

Product overview

Safe Project is a nonprofit organization operating a multi-pronged platform addressing the addiction and fatality epidemic in the United States. The organization runs four core programs (SAFE Campuses, SAFE Communities, SAFE Workplaces, and SAFE Veterans) that serve different population segments, supported by six lines of operation: Public Awareness, Full-Spectrum Prevention, Prescriptions and Medical Response, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, Treatment and Recovery, and Family Outreach and Support. Key resources and tools include the Buprenorphine Locator (a CSV/Google Sheets-based provider finder for medication-assisted treatment), Naloxone training resources, the Family Support Locator, and the No Shame Movement campaign. The organization also provides I-FPRS Training for Peer Recovery Specialists and operates the Gone for Good drug disposal program. This is a nonprofit service organization rather than a software technology product.
