Truth Pharm

We provide education for medical providers. Our program, See me, Hear me, Treat me utilizes people impacted by addiction as panelists to educate providers. Here are the outstanding evals from a recent training. So exciting to see these "I will" statements from #Doctors & #nurses!

Our Founder and Executive Director, Alexis Pleus, will be speaking I’ll be speaking at the Mental Hygiene Hearing shortly. You can watch live here: assembly.state.ny.us/av/live/

Truth Pharma is a group that highlights overdose deaths. Organizers were in Chicago this week for the DNC and to press politicians on a crisis that kills tens of thousands each year.

"I'm a grieving mom. I lost my son to a heroin overdose 10 years ago. And we are not doing enough as a nation to address the overdose epidemic." #00000191-7ab7-d8ce-a39d-7bf7e9a50000" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">chicago.suntimes.com/live/2024/08/2…

I talked to Alexis Pleus, founder of advocacy group Truth Pharm, outside the DNC. Her son died of a heroin overdose 10 years ago.

As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump traded barbs Tuesday, the running gag of politics is that no matter what party is in office, the reality for those most in need doesn't change much, writes @NotesFromHeL inquirer.com/opinion/trump-…

Grassroots groups nationwide fight for opioid settlement money, as the SHOULD. We're no longer standing by while our blood money continues to be wasted, spent inappropriately and NOT funding OUR work! thenationaldesk.com/news/spotlight…

@MyHarmReduction I read the entire thing with your voice behind the words! Ha. I can't wait to hear the real deal!

Spent the day at the recording studio recording the first 40% of my audiobook. Why didn't anyone tell me how hard it is? I'm wiped out. Narrating is no joke. I'll be back tomorrow.

We had great success pushing back against this Big Pharma money grab and Broome Sheriff's desire to make people with SUD suffer by involving the @NewYorkStateAG! She issued a cease and desist letter over OpVee usage! Big win for people struggling with OUD wbng.com/2024/07/17/bro…

I had a great time with @earl_show for a one hour interview on the state of the overdose crisis, Big Pharma and the opioid settlement funds. civicmedia.us/shows/earl-ing…

Huge huge props to our allies and comrades in this fight for justice!! Ed Bisch who has been fighting for justice for over 20 years! Ellen Isaacs brave and brilliant soul who made this possible and @sacklerpain who were the champions of elevating this with the press!!

Supreme Court blocks controversial Purdue Pharma opioid settlement - The Washington Post JUSTICE!!! And that's US in that picture fighting for justice!! WE DID IT!!! washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

@EdwardNeiger @melissabjacoby Hopefully they recognize the Purdue settlement is not holding anyone up from saving lives. It's also a fraction of the overall settlement funds and worth having the bankruptcy over turned on order to stop the loopholes and abuse of the bankruptcy court.

Will today be the day for #PurduePharma? (highlighted as major case on Prof. Vladeck's list).

When addiction medicine doctors started to come after safe supply, we said that what they’re doing is going to cause greater harm. And then the attacks on harm reduction began to grow. And with those attacks the right grew more interest in what we were doing to save lives.

I'm grateful this is coming out just in time for my son's heavenly birthday. Lack of transparency still clouds billions in opioid settlement money going to states. We must all come together and demand accountability for every dollar. thenationaldesk.com/news/spotlight…

I’m at a Public Health Conference and learned that @BroomeSheriff is breaking state law by dispensing OPVEE to reverse overdoses. He’s also requiring officers to practice medicine with a medical degree or license. Will @TishJames let our Sheriff know he’s not above the law?

Congrats to @terrellpnny our Community Engagement & Advocacy Manager, who was honored at the NYS Public Health Partnership Conference by @nyspha, @nysacho & @nysarhinfo for his outstanding contributions to public health and the harm reduction movement!

Big news, Truth Pharm is hiring! We’re receiving funding for two incredible innovative projects aimed at reducing overdose fatalities locally. Come make history with us! facebook.com/10006471225805…?

Thank you @NYDailyNews Editorial Board for your support to authorize OPCs in NY. We must expand this evidence-based strategy that has saved 1538 lives in NYC and makes treatment more accessible. Let's act now to #EndOverdoseNY. Read the op-ed here: bit.ly/3UPXWvZ
