About this Course

Naloxone, also known by the brand name "Narcan", is a medication used to reverse the effects of an opioid drug overdose. This free training not only provides individuals with the ability to respond quickly and effectively in overdose situations, but it also helps reduce the stigma associated with drug addiction. By educating the public about opioid abuse and overdose prevention, Naloxone training fosters a sense of empathy and understanding towards those struggling with addiction, encouraging communities to offer support rather than judgment. This 90-minute workshop will cover Canada's opioid epidemic, overdose risk factors, administering Naloxone, aftercare, and more. Participants will each receive a free Naloxone kit to take home.
