In August, ACT had the privilege to train members of the Ilitch Events Security Team at Little Caesar’s Arena. We are hopeful that our training has prepared security members to recognize and take action in the event of an overdose emergency and thank them for taking a big step towards overdose rescue in Detroit.

1,000+ people trained in overdose rescue đź’ś

Since October 2025, our ACT team has trained over 1,000 people across our communities to recognize an opioid overdose and know how to respond!
Every person trained is another person who could be there when it matters most. You never know when a friend, family member, coworker, or stranger might need help. Knowing how to respond and carrying Narcan can save a life.

Thank you to everyone who has attended a training or hosted us! Here’s to the next 1,000!

Attend our next Virtual Public Training on September 18th at 6 PM on Zoom! Link in our bio: tinyurl.com/publictrainingrsvp

As summer comes to an end, we took the opportunity to ask our ACT volunteers about their favorites in terms of music, media, and traditions. Consider joining our team as a member of Cohort 23 and your favorites may be featured in our Fall favorites!

As summer comes to an end, we took the opportunity to ask our ACT volunteers about their favorites in terms of music, media, and traditions…

“What’s a book that you’ve read this summer that stood out to you?” “What’s a summer must-watch TV show?”

Since the movies are on a generational run, we wanted to hear from ACT members what their favorite film was in theaters this summer… no surprise that nearly half of the program enjoyed Curry Barker’s “Obsession”

“What’s a favorite summer comfort watch?”

We asked members their choice of drink to cool down on a hot day… and compiled an ACT ice cream bowl of our team’s favorite flavors!

As summer wraps, we asked what’s one personal or professional goal our team members are hoping to accomplish… join us in wishing them good luck on their endeavors!
