Denise Barnes NARCAN+911

Season 8 Episode 407

Denise Barnes was living a full and faith-filled life in sunny San Diego—a devoted mother of three, a wife, a surfer, and a woman grounded in love and purpose. But everything changed the day her youngest son unknowingly took a single pill laced with fentanyl. Narcan was administered… but 911 was never called. That one missed step cost him his life.

Now, Denise is on a powerful mission to make sure no other family makes the same tragic mistake.

With raw honesty and a mother’s fierce love, Denise is turning her pain into purpose. Her message is urgent and crystal clear: Narcan can revive—but without 911, it might not be enough. Medical professionals are essential in those critical moments after an overdose. Time is everything.

From school assemblies to social media, podcasts to public events, Denise is spreading awareness with one simple but vital formula: Narcan + 911 = a chance at life.

This episode is more than a story—it’s a wake-up call.
