App. Harm Reduction: BuddyUp
BuddyUp is a new digital offer from Cranstoun, in which we have worked with the Brave Technology Cooperation in Canada who originally developed this idea and app.
The idea is simple, people who are using drugs alone can download the app and be connected to a Cranstoun volunteer, with whom they can build a rescue plan in the event of an emergency. The plan is only activated if the app user overdoses. It will send an emergency message to them, triggering the appropriate medical attention. This app is therefore all about preventing avoidable, fatal overdose. (Cranstoun, UK, März 2022)
