This educational session is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and confidence to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose. Attendees will learn how to identify the warning signs and symptoms, how Narcan works and how to properly administer Narcan during an overdose. Trainer devices will be available for participants to practice the action of administering Narcan when responding to an emergency.
“Naloxone saves lives. When more people are trained and prepared, our entire community benefits,” said NEIP President Molnar. “This training empowers individuals in our community to act quickly and confidently during an emergency.”
Narcan is a safe, FDA-approved medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose within minutes. The training is appropriate for parents, educators, business owners, healthcare professionals and any concerned community member.
