MIriam Younis

Hello! My name is Mariam Younis and I am a student at the University of Kentucky. As a current pre-medical student, the most interesting part of my college education so far has been learning about mental health and addiction treatment and how the destigmatization of both can lead to improved health outcomes across all patient populations, especially when it comes to underserved communities. Growing up in Kentucky, I have been exposed to all the facts and statistics surrounding the opioid crisis and fentanyl-related deaths, but I was never presented with the chance to actually do something about it. Therefore, the opportunity to partake in such a nationwide awareness campaign that equips and thereby empowers college students with the knowledge and tools they need to prevent overdose deaths, whether that is via presentations on how to use naloxone or making fentanyl strips more accessible, is something that I am incredibly passionate about, particularly with my growing interest in the preventive and social aspects of medicine.

Grace Adler

Grace is a third year undergraduate student at Occidental College majoring in Psychology. She has grown up seeing the effects of addiction first hand in her family, friends, and city. Her dad lost his life due to an opioid overdose when she was five years old, and this experience cultivated a person determined to put an end to overdose. She began volunteering with us in the summer of 2022 - tabling at events, packing kits, and participating in trainings throughout LA. Ultimately, she decided that this harm reduction resource would lead to significant positive change at her college. Before she introduced End Overdose to Occidental, the school was not properly equipped for overdose situations. Considering this is a small liberal arts college, the small student body provides an opportunity for intimate trainings, open conversations, and real change to the perception of the overdose epidemic. Grace believes that harm reduction is the most effective way to end overdose because it targets the problem with love and compassion rather than judgement and misconception.
