Overview

Nuna Doctors is a groundbreaking program facilitated by two experienced medical professionals that trained in Ireland but currently reside in Buffalo, USA. This initiative aims to engage with at-risk youth, providing them with crucial knowledge on basic first aid and addressing pressing topics such as responding to first aid emergencies, managing alcohol and drug overdoses, and understanding the potential risks associated with substance use.

At the core of Nuna Doctors is a commitment to providing non-judgmental support and equipping participants with essential information that enables them to make informed decisions.
