If you pass through the Strawberry Mansion section of North Philadelphia, you may notice two beautiful and vibrant new murals in the neighborhood.

Not only are they beautiful and vibrant, but they are also inspired by the experiences and hopes of participants at Horizon House’s Susquehanna Park location.

A formal dedication for the news murals was hosted on Thursday, Nov. 10 by Horizon House and the Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia. Horizon House personnel and participants were joined at the ceremony by Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke, Pennsylvania State Representative Donna Bullock, mural artist James Byrne and leaders from the Mural Arts Program.

The first mural is entitled “Peace is Gold, and the Song I Want to Hear.” It features faces hailing from the local Strawberry Mansion community coming together to assist each other communally in recovery.

Our Housing First Treatment Teams, which are part of Horizon House’s Homeless Services Division, have been out in our communities holding Narcan trainings for participants in case they come across someone suffering an opioid overdose episode.

These trainings have helped participants recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and administer Narcan, the overdose reversal drug, in the case of an emergency situation. The trainings are brought to the participants in their communities and encourage the participants to be honest and ask as many questions as they want.

Pictured above is the most recent Narcan training, which was held in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. This successful training even included free water ice and soft pretzels, perfect snacks for those who took part on a hot day in the city.

What a great idea from the Housing First Treatment Teams!
